Dental CE Course: IMPLANT THERAPY IN COMPROMISED SITES - CADAVER WORKSHOP (COURSE E)

SYNOPSIS:


The success of dental implants depends on their placement in bone of adequate density and volume in order to achieve primary stability. However, usually there is at least some degree of atrophy in most implant sites due to postextraction remodeling or because of pathologic conditions. There has been a gradual shift in paradigm from merely achieving successful osseointegration to achieving final restorative outcomes that mimic natural dentition and the surrounding oral tissues. These objectives have been materialized by advancements in surgical techniques, as well as availability of biomaterials to enable predictable regeneration of oral hard and soft tissues. This course consists of two sections. The first section consists of two and half days of lecture, hands-on model workshop and live surgery. The second section is a half-day cadaver workshop.
