COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course will provide “state-of-the-art” information regarding dental implantology; to develop a philosophical and conceptual approach to implantology; to develop a biological rationale for proper treatment planning based upon sound scientific and clinical principles; to understand the integration of surgical and prosthetic components of implantology; to successfully evaluate the quantity and quality of radiographic analyses including CT scans, panoramic X-rays and periapical X-rays; to enhance proper case selection for maximum clinical success.

In addition to lectures, this continuum will include literature review sessions, “live” patient demonstrations by faculty, practical “hands-on” workshops with leading implant companies, and treatment planning sessions.
