- Recognizing that the standard of care is dynamic, a review of current diagnostic and planning tools including 3D cone beam imaging, and alternative implant systems
- Surgical and prosthetic treatment planning options for various indications
- A discussion on the importance of pre-surgical work-up, including stents (use, fabrication and limitations), computer guided surgery and/or other tools that can be utilized to insure success and minimize outcome and patient risk
FUNDAMENTAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES, ANESTHESIA AND STERILE PROTOCOLS
Course Objectives:
- Impact of bone morphology and anatomy on implant placement
- Considerations with anesthesia
- Techniques for surgical extractions for bone preservation
- Techniques for flap design, primary closure, suturing, drilling systems
- Techniques for surgical implant placement (basic cases)
- Surgical sterile protocols and implant success

SURGICAL PROCEDURES FOR BASIC CASES (SURGICAL MODEL WORK)
Suggest:
- Hands-on Model Work, Cadavers, Observation of Live Surgery, and Where Possible Placement in Patients
Recommend:
- Additional Observations of Live Surgery with a Surgical Specialist (mentor) Following the Course
- Single posterior implant case
- Two posterior implants (basic case)
- Two mandibular implants for overdenture
- Following the surgeries, presentation of completed cases and discussion of planned restorative treatment (with modifications if needed)

COMPLICATIONS, LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS:
Recommend:
- Complications prevention, early recognition and evaluation , documentation, imaging, radiography testing and legalities.
- Prevention and treatment of complications morphological and medical history related
- Management and treatment of implant failures and defects
- Criteria for timely referral of complications to a surgical specialist
- Regular evaluation of the healing and/or periodontal status, implant integration, neurological or sinus status, imaging evaluation, and patient overall status
- The long-term management of surgical implant patients, including soft tissue analysis, status of the bone and function

OVERVIEW OF ADVANCED AND COMPLEX SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND PROSTHETIC TREATMENT OPTIONS SUGGESTED
Course Objectives:
- Indications for bone grafting and sinus lift procedures
- Special considerations for anterior implant placement
- Complex prosthetic procedures
Course Topics:
- Indications for bone grafting, soft tissue grafting and site preparation; types of grafting materials and techniques
- Overview of sinus lift procedures
- Overview of special considerations for anterior implant placement, including side by side implants vs. cantilevers, and soft tissue manipulations and procedures to enhance final esthetic results
- Overview of advanced and complex prosthetic procedures, such as extraction and immediate implant placement

50-100 implants simple cases Complex Implant procedures: Sinus lifts, ridge splits, complex grafting
Pre-requisite: Basic implant knowledge of simple to complex fixed and restorative options.
- An understanding of advanced restorative procedures
- Recognition of technical and cosmetic limitations of implant dentistry in certain situations. Lastly, we should remember that this training is designed to allow the patient to safely receive a dental implant that can be expected to last for an exceptional period of time, and be informed completely of why failure can occur plus exceptionally accurate presentation of their individual risks. If this cannot be done then the case by definition is not a “basic” surgical case and should be referred to a specialist.
