Abstract :

Course Objectives: This course is designed to teach practitioners to adequately treat the most commonly encountered atrophied edentulous bone through bone manipulation & grafting procedures so that they can predictably recreate the adequate bone volumes in order to place implants into the most optimal locations. After taking the course participants will be confident to place and restore implants in their own practices and may even be able to undertake the advanced procedures such as bone grafting and sinus augmentation. Course Highlights: Simple implantation to extensive bone grafting, manipulation & augmentation; tunnel grafting, onlay bone grafting techniques; sinus graft/lift procedures; soft tissue manipulation & esthetic enhancement techniques, plastic surgery principles, tissue graft; autologous growth factors for tissue regeneration & augmentation; fundamental steps which will avoid the causes of most problems related to implantology. The course details: Didactic sessions including video surgeries. Treating The Untreatable: In reality, most of the patients seeking implant treatment with existing edentulous areas either do not have adequate bone to permit implants to be placed or to have them placed into normal root locations. This may lead to no treatment at all, limited number of implants, complicated prosthesis, inadequate occlusion, unnecessary over treatment, excessive costs and/or poor esthetics / oral hygiene. This atrophy is a dynamic, functional loss as the bone heals and changes from stress bearing to non-stress bearing bone. For successful implant placement the goal should be to recreate bone in the same positions. In pursuance of perfection and a comprehensive solution the Course Conductor will present a unique philosophy, emphasizing on treating the untreatable cases; and will present to you the simplest ways to achieve these goals.
