Session I - Session II - Session III - Session IV

 

Session Three

June 20-24, 2012

Advanced Implant Techniques

 

Advanced implant surgical techniques are covered in this session like: alveolar ridge expansion with split cortical technique,
Guided Bone Regeneration, Sinus lift thru the osteotomy site and more. Hands-on porcine workshops using regenerative materials are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty. The restorative portion of this session will focus on Biomechanical principles, biomaterials and implant occlusion.   f
This session will include practice management lectures by Sally McKenzie


Course Objectives


• Recognize the keys to Bone Grafting in order to obtain predictable
  results.
• Learn the principals and the protocol of Guided Bone Regeneration
  using resorbable bone grafting martial with resorbable and/or non-
  resorbable membranes.
• Describe the proper technique for bone site development prior to
  graft and membrane placement involved in particulate bone grafting.
• Differentiate and utilize various bone graft materials
• Recognize the importance and learn how to obtain growth factors in
  conjunction with particulate bone grafting prior to implant placement.
• Perform GBR procedures (using membrane particulate bone grafts
  and membrane) on laboratory models.
• Describe the indications for different suturing Techniques in Oral
  Implantology
• Perform GBR procedures and suturing techniques on pig-jaws.

  surgery.
• Learn the different surgical techniques to enhance the soft tissue
  profile around implants in the esthetics zone.

  and removable restorations.
• Learn the biomechanical approach to implant treatment planning.
• Learn the most common causes of prosthetic complications in implant
  dentistry.

  • "Dr Faraje offers highly sophisticated courses in Implant dentistry . He distills his experience and delivers the course material to the point, and sharing all aspects of care and patient management. The information is thorough, and perspective offered have the potential of being an asset to a clinician of any level of experience. I enjoyed spending my time learning from him!."

  • "I think it is the excellent organization and sequential presentation of Dr. Louie Al-Faraje's implant training courses that enabled me to safely start and build my implant practice. I feel that had I not gone to Dr. Louie Al-Faraje's sequence of dental implant training first, that I still would not have placed my first implant."
