Annual Fellowship Program - Session One
Basics of Oral Implantology
April 21-25, 2021- San Diego, CA
Session Objectives: During the first session of this comprehensive hands-on implant training program the following topics are covered:
Anatomy, bone physiology, patient evaluation for implant treatment, risk factors, vertical & horizontal spaces of occlusion, bone density, step-by-step implant surgical placement protocols including immediate and osteotome techniques, impression techniques, restorative steps for implant crown and bridge and more.
Hands-on workshops are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty.

Session I Faculty
Dr. Louie Al-Faraje
Academic Chairman, C.I.I
Dr. Louie Al-Faraje literally defined and authored the art of Oral Implantology. As a leading authority, he created many classifications and techniques, the standards by which oral implantology surgical procedures can be successfully performed. His name has become synonymous with results-oriented oral implantology treatments around the world.
