Mastering the Basic Surgical Techniques and Prosthetic Applications of Osseointegrated Implants in the Successful Private Dental Practice

ESTHETICS, FUNCTION, PREDICTABILITY AND PROBLEM SOLVING FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS

Over the past 20 years UCLA has become a recognized leader in the field of osseointegrated implants. The experience gained from this pioneering clinical work is best shared with the private practice clinician over an extended period. A cohesive study club series is the ideal way to develop a useful understanding of this complex material.

The goal of this program is to provide participants with a thorough exposure to dental implants, enabling their successful utilization in the private restorative practice. This program is also effective for surgeons who wish to improve their understanding of the prosthetic uses and limitations of dental implants. The development of predictable successful treatment plans will be emphasized. The formation of clinical skills for the intelligent selection of implants versus conventional dentistry is paramount to this course.

The curriculum will be broad and varied with an emphasis to the realities of private practice. This course will give the real pros and cons of implant dentistry for the general dentist, including basic surgical placement. There will be hands-on workshops in basic surgical techniques and prosthetic applications. Successful completion of this series will enable the participants to receive a certificate for the course, and allow each of them to integrate predictable implant dentistry into their own practice.
