Advanced Tissue Regeneration & Implant Placement Course (Oct 13 - 16, 2026)

Advanced Tissue Regeneration & Implant Placement Course is organized by Global Institute for Dental Education (gIDE) and will be held from Oct 13 - 16, 2026 at gIDE Dental Center, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

Description:
Learn directly from one of the founding pioneers of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) in an intensive, hands-on setting. This 4-day course goes beyond theory, offering proven step-by-step protocols for both bone and soft tissue grafting. Taught by a world-renowned expert, you’ll gain the confidence and clinical precision needed to achieve predictable, high-quality results in your daily practice—all while enjoying the vibrant energy and coastal charm of sunny Los Angeles.
