This two-day continuing education course covers a variety of implant-related surgical procedures through lectures and hands-on workshops using pig jaws. Participants will learn techniques for implant placement, immediate implant placement, socket augmentation, and simple bone augmentation. They will also practice these procedures and learn flap designs, suturing, and how to select the appropriate bone augmentation technique. The goal is to help dentists incorporate implants and understand the ideal three-dimensional positioning and esthetic considerations.

1. This course combines didactic lectures and hands-on
workshop with pig jaws to cover variety implant related
surgical procedures: implant placement, immediate im-
plant placement, socket augmentation and simple bone
augmentation In addition, live videos will be used to illus-
tratealltheseprocedures.
Thiscourseisdesignedtofamiliarizeparticipantswiththe
every day practice of implant treatment. This course will
address how to place implant in an ideal 3-dimensional
positionwithpropersofttissuethickness.Participantswill
learn the following procedures: socket augmentation us-
ing many different advanced technique (mineralized bone
plug, PTFE and others), immediate implant placement
and immediate temporalization as well as advances in
horizontal bone augmentation. It will familiarize partici-
pants with many different flap designs as well as suturing
techniques. A “decision tree” of how to choose the most
predictable procedure for horizontal bone augmentation
willalsobeprovidedanddiscussed.
After completion of this two-day continuing education
course,theparticipantwillbeableto:
Know how to incorporate implant therapy into their
dailypractice
Learn step-by-step surgical sequence and clinical tips
associatedwithimplantplacement
Know the concept of ideal implant 3D position and es-
thetictriangle
Recognize the advantages and limitations associated
with immediate implant placement and immediate im-

Understand the decision making process to select the
most appropriate techniques for horizontal bone aug-
mentation.
Be familiar with the newly introduced materials, pros
