Overview:
Take your surgical skills to the next level for managing complex implant cases. Each course day has a didactic presentation using lecture & video material & a clinical hands-on or live surgery demonstration.

Days 1 & 2:
Bone, Ridge & Socket Grafting
Day 1 consists of a full day of Lecture. 

Learning Objectives:

• Treatment planning for esthetic cases and the development of gingival papilla support
• New technology using growth factors
• Implant complications, possibility of treatment and prognosis
 

Day 2 consists of 1/2 Day Live Surgery (morning) and 1/2 Day Hands-On Workshop on porcine mandible models (afternoon)

Learning Objectives:
