What the program covers
Take your skills in the All-on-4® treatment concept to the next level and expand your ability to treat patients with severe maxillary atrophy using pterygoid implants. This comprehensive program is designed for clinicians seeking advanced surgical and prosthetic protocols that enable predictable full-arch rehabilitation while avoiding extensive bone grafting procedures.
Gain a deeper understanding of patient selection, anatomical considerations, treatment planning, surgical execution, and restorative workflows associated with pterygoid implant therapy. Through evidence-based concepts and practical clinical applications, participants will learn how to manage complex maxillary cases with increased confidence, efficiency, and predictability.
By engaging the dense cortical bone of the pterygoid region, clinicians can often eliminate the need for sinus grafting and other extensive augmentation procedures, reducing treatment time, patient morbidity, surgical complexity, and overall treatment costs for patients.
The program also emphasizes complication prevention and management, prosthetic considerations, biomechanics, immediate loading concepts, and long-term maintenance protocols essential for successful full-arch rehabilitation in advanced atrophic cases.

CE hours & credentialing
Upon completion of this program, participants will receive 50 continuing education (CE) hours. These hours may be applied toward the Implant education requirements for credentialing through the ICOI, AAID, and ABOI, subject to each organization's eligibility criteria and approval.
I have been placing implants for over 7 years and found the course to be invaluable. You provided information that could be implemented after each session. The course is well structured for both the novice and the more experienced. I believe this course to be a must for anyone interested in beginning or continuing their education in implant dentistry. You will be hard-pressed to find a more well-prepared and organized teacher. The live surgeries and hands-on portion of the course pays for itself.
Tuition includes 50 CE credits, the recorded program and three textbooks by Dr. Al-Faraje.
