Course Title: Guided Bone Regeneration Surgical Modalities

Course Description (one-day hands-on course. Course fees: $1750):

Abstract Reconstruction of the oral supporting tissues lost by disease or trauma is essential to tooth replacement with dental implant therapy.

Learning Objectives:

• Evidence based augmentative procedures combined with up-to-date and current techniques
• Guided bone regeneration (GBR) aims to utilizing biologically active and supportive materials best coupled to the body’s healing processes
• The use of non-resorbable, titanium membranes, as well as Khoury plates technique can achieve GBR by ensuring graft stability and space maintenance so as to ensure optimal neovascularization

Course Title: Atrophic Ridge Management: Lecture Only

Course Description (one-day lecture. Course fees: $899):

The maxillary and mandibular edentulous region presents a challenging condition for dental implant placement. Alveolar bone resorption and increased pneumatization of the sinus cavity reduce the amount of alveolar bone necessary to maintain a predictable implant-supported prosthesis. This problem can be overcome by GBR procedures maintaining the horizontal ridge dimensions or grafting the maxillary sinus floor which provides a sufficient quantity of bone for the placement of endosseal dental implants to support a prosthetic reconstruction.

Learning Objectives:

• The advantages and utilization of Osseodensification for both Ridge Expansion and Sinus Augmentation enabling the clinician to do a minimally invasive approach
• “Outside the box” approach for atrophic ridge management cases with use of autologous growth factors as well as Osseodensification with up to 5 years follow up

Course Title: Partial Extraction Therapy (PET)

Course Description (one-day hands-on course. Course fees: $1750):

The loss of teeth will lead to resorption of the buccal plate with its resultant need for extensive augmentative procedures (both bone and soft tissue) as well as the risk of poor long term aesthetic stability.

Learning Objectives:

• Partial Extraction Therapies (PET) Techniques
• Discuss how to maintain the buccal bone plate and hence prevent the collapse of the alveolar bone creating a platform for ideal soft tissue

This lecture and hands-on will take you through the different options with regards to immediate implant placement as well as the most cutting edge PET in a step by step fashion

Course Title: Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration

Course Description IDR I (one-day hands-on course. Course fees: $1750) prerequisite to IDR II (one-day hands-on course. Course fees: $1750):

The Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) is a surgical and prosthetic technique established to broaden indications for immediate implant placement and loading to minimize both soft and hard tissue loss. It minimizes the treatment time and morbidity of reconstructive procedures. It advocates for minimally invasive and flapless surgery.

This course will emphasize the synergetic effect of IDR and Osseodensification treatment modalities.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand bone biology and the scientific basis of the IDR technique
• Indication and contraindication
• Step-by-Step technique for:
  • Immediate loading in intact sockets (IDR I)
  • Immediate loading in non-intact sockets (IDR II)
  • Implant positioning in relation to alveolar buccal bone thickness
