Basics of Oral Implantology

 

During the first session of this one-year 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, pharmacology, restorative steps for implant crown and bridge and more.  
Hands-on porcine workshops are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty.

             Implant Education - Prosthetic Program         d

  • "Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to attend implant-related CE courses given by some of the most gifted implant experts of our time.  In that group of world-class mentors, I include Dr. Louie Al Faraje, who demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the didactic elements, yet focuses on the practical aspects of implantology, giving us information we need to help in making daily clinical decisions.  He provides a top-quality venue, excellent organization of materials, and a refreshing humility, which encourages attendees to ask questions, and gives them the confidence to extend the range of services they offer to their patients."

    Periodontist,
    San Diego, CA

  • "Before attending the mini residency at the California Implant Institute I though I will never be able to place implants, but after taking the surgical programs with Dr. Al-Faraje I placed over 100 implants in the period of one year. I would highly recommend the program to all my colleagues."
