Dive into the art and science of modern implant dentistry and periodontology — master minimally invasive extractions, immediate implant placement, soft tissue management, and sinus lifting using techniques that ensure flawless esthetics, predictable function, and long-lasting results.
Each lesson combines evidence-based protocols, clinical case demonstrations, and practical guidance.
During the course, you will learn about:
– Immediate implant placement and provisionalization protocols
– Surgical techniques for soft tissue volume augmentation around dental implants
– Step-by-step protocols for predictable sinus grafting, including prevention and management of surgical complications
