Annual Fellowship Program - Session Three
Advanced Implant Techniques
June 23-27, 2021- San Diego, CA
Advanced implant surgical techniques covered in this session include: alveolar ridge expansion using split cortical technique, guided bone regeneration and bone grafting before, during and after implant placement. Hands-on pig jaw suturing and bone grafting 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. This session will include full day lecture on pharmacology in oral implantology.
