Module 1, October 19-21, 2023
Introduction to Implant Dentistry, Diagnosis, Division of Bone, Density of Bone, Prosthetic Driven Implant Planning, Pre- Prosthetic Treatment Planning, Socket Preservation, Basic Implant Surgery,Implant Prosthodontics
This module is designed for general dentists interested in learning socket preservation and bone grafting techniques. Participants will learn how to diagnose extraction sites, learn about different types of bone grafting materials, learn socket grafting and learn other bone grafting techniques.
Hands on bone grafting of sockets will be practiced on plastic models. Participants will learn how to diagnose edentulous ridges and treatment plan patients for dental implants. CT analysis and planning, guided surgery, flap designing, implant placement and Stage II uncovery will be discussed. Hands-on implant placement will be practiced on plastic partially and fully edentulous models.
Module 1 Objectives:
1. To understand clinical evaluation of a patient for implant cases
2. To learn treatment planning and basic implant surgery
3. To learn advanced suturing techniques for implant surgery
