“Cross-Training” in Implant-Surgery is a new concept in teaching the latest diagnostic and surgical procedures that requires instructors and (surgeons), from different specialties to use restorative goals when making surgical decisions.

This requires the general dentist, as the quarterback, and the surgeon, to learn when and why specific procedures are performed, and how these decisions affect restorative outcomes.

Participants will extract teeth and place implants as well as learn new concepts and practical surgical techniques with “Neoss,” a user-friendly implant system. All fresh cadaver specimens will also have Cone-Beam images (iCat), and dental study casts available. (We will teach you how to read the images).

Sign up early: enrollment is limited to only 18 participants & is full every year

Course Objectives:

The large number of (6) faculty allows this course to be presented as a beginning and advanced surgery course:

  1. for those who wish to learn important Imaging criteria, surgery skills and gain experience placing implants, and
  2. the latest advanced surgical procedures and restorative options will also be presented. Although all instruments and equipment will be provided, advanced participants may bring their own drills, motors and special instruments to use at the course.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn to read and compare clinical findings with Cone Beam C.T. Images.
  • Learn critical anatomical landmarks and structures before attempting incisions and flaps
  • Learn new, useful flap designs and suturing techniques
  • Learn how “not to extract,” but to carefully remove teeth without fracturing the buccal plate of bone. Use the latest periotomes available.
  • Learn when bone grafting is indicated and what type of grafting material to use
  • Learn how to manage the sinus membrane during grafting procedures.
  • Learn how to use the Piezo System for bone grafting and surgery
