This is an ongoing study club designed for participants to develop their skills over time and progress at a rate that is tailored to their needs. Some participants will choose to focus more on treatment planning and restorative procedures with a slower entry into surgical procedures. Some will conduct surgical procedures after the first few sessions. This interactive course will include detailed lectures, hands on surgical activities, implant protocol review, case presentations and live patient treatments. Subjects to be covered include: treatment planning, surgical guides, risk/complications, radiographic analysis (CBCT, Pano, PA), surgical anatomy, implant surfaces/designs, custom abutments, provisionals, digital impressions and digital laboratory workflow. Specific surgical topics that will be covered are flap design, suturing, extractions, implant placement, guided surgery, bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, peri-implantitis and implant maintenance. This course also includes assistant surgical training, hygienist perio maintenance training, CBCT software training and review of consents and post-operative instructions. Course Objectives: • Learn implant treatment planning and appropriate case selection with an emphasis on the risks and potential complications of implant dentistry  • Improve participants’ clinical skills in the surgical placement and restoration of implants  • Dental assistants will improve their understanding of implant components, surgical assisting skills and temporization

Removable Prosthetics: Incorporating the Fundamentals and Emerging Technology is organized by Oregon Academy of General Dentistry (OAGD) and will be held from Nov 13, 2020 - Jan 17, 2021 at OAGDF Center, Tigard, Oregon, United States of America. Dates: • Friday, Nov 13, 2020: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (Lecture) • Saturday, Nov 14, 2020: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (Hands-On) • Sunday, Jan 17, 2021: 8:00 am - 2:00 pm (Case Presentations) Accreditation: • 8 Lecture Credit Hours - or- • 32 Hands-On (with case presentation) Credit Hours Course Overview: This course will help you create removable prosthetics that meet your patient’s esthetic concerns while also meeting their functional needs. The incidence of complete and partial edentulism is going to increase as the global population expands and people live longer. To meet this need, the demand for removable prostheses will also increase. This course will review fundamental concepts of removable prosthodontics which have remained constant over the years, while also bringing you up to date on manufacturing techniques and materials which have continued to evolve. Topics covered include diagnosis, clinical processes, troubleshooting complexities, technological opportunities and material selection. Clinicians will acquire the knowledge and skill to apply these concepts in their daily practice. Both days offer hands-on activities. Day one will cover basic concepts as well as principles and practice of record taking and considerations for implants with complete dentures. Day two will offer participants the opportunity to help design a partial, create die casts and prepare models. Course Objectives: • Diagnose the patient to help create the appropriate treatment plan for a removable prosthesis • Recall fundamental principles to fabricate complete and partial dentures • Recognize the application of digital technology in removable prosthodontics

Build your confidence by learning the newest and best techniques for surgical extractions while conserving bone for future implant or bridge placement. The course emphasis is on exodontia, including both difficult and third molar extractions and the prevention/management of complications, but also covers dento-alveolar procedures.  Session Day 1: Participants will attend lecture presentation detailing theory and practice for all extractions from easy to difficult and third molar removal.  Session Day 2: Practice the following procedures on life-like dentoform models specially designed by Dr. Koerner: surgical extractions (including sectioning of upper/lower molars), multiple extractions, root retrieval from dense bone, alveoplasty, preventing a root from entering the maxillary sinus, socket grafting without primary closure, suturing, moderate third molar impactions, I&D, frenectomy, and excisional biopsy.  Session Days 3: *Participants will perform procedures on live patients and participate in group pre-op case presentations and post op debriefing.  Protocol Activity: Participants will choose between several types of cases to be performed in their own office, documented photographically and then presented on April 25, 2021 to the course participants and faculty. *Participants are expected to find their own patients.  Course Objectives: • Quickly and easily perform “surgical” extractions • Learn to prevent and/or manage complications that might occur during oral surgery procedures such as bleeding or sinus exposure • Identify easy cases you can do and more difficult ones which will require referral
