Current Concepts in Hard Tissue Grafting for Accelerated Implant Reconstruction Friday, 17 September 2010 to Saturday, 18 September 2010 | Two days

This course is designed to provide clinicians who are experienced in implant dentistry with a thorough understanding of advanced bone augmentation techniques. The programme combines in-depth lectures, a hands-on workshop, and live surgical demonstration. Participants experience and practise different surgical techniques on animal mandibles.

Educational outcome

Upon completion of the course delegates should be able to understand the protocols for immediate versus delayed implant placement in the aesthetic zone, and predictable evidence-based extraction site management. Following attendance participants should also be able to:

Successfully place implants into patients with compromised hard and soft tissue anatomy
Prevent, recognise and treat mandibular block graft complications
Perform advanced bone grafting procedures that will result in long-term implant success

14 hours CPD

Detailed Programme

The programme includes harvesting, grafting and suturing, and aesthetic zone reconstruction. The course also covers the patho-physiology of bone grafting.

"I have been placing dental implants for 14 years but I wanted to see how another experienced implantologist carried out the various procedures. The course enabled me to share ideas, knowledge and experiences in a way I had not previously been able to.

During the course we got to see all types of cases - the good, the bad and the ugly. I liked the way Dr Patel showed us successes and failures that we could all learn from. This is implantology in the real world. It was refreshing to have such an honest approach."
