Beyond Osseointegration

During session II computer guided implant placement and restoration using SimPlant® Software, immediate load techniques for single and full arch cases, biology of osseointegration, mini implants,
bone grafting before, during and after implant placement will be discussed. Implant prosthodontics for the fully edentulous patients, High-water design, Bar-overdenture, CAD/CAM designs, etc. will highlight the prosthetic portion of this session.Hands-on porcine workshops areperformed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty.

• Understand the comprehensive care and treatment that a
restorative dentist can provide to patients.
• Discuss and describe treatment plan options for partially and

The art of communication
Dominico Cascione, CDT, Master Ceramist

"I strongly recommend Dr Faraje's fellowship in oral implantology. He offers an excellent, comprehensive, detailed, up to date implant course. I appreciated the concise, well organized lecture material full of practical, clinical and useful tips. The fellowship gave me the confidence to begin placing implants in my own practice"

"I took Dr. Al-Faraje's cadaver block grafting course recently. It was great to listen to a mentor with such a fresh perspective in teaching and addressing the audience. He openly shared his successes and his complications, which is the only way to truly learn from an instructor. He shared willingly tips and techniques to simplify the procedure of bone grafting and I felt truly rewarded for attending his course. This course has lots to offer to both experienced and novice surgeons."
