Despite the high predictability of treatments with titanium dental implants, long term success and aesthetic outcomes are a continuing challenge in cases of implants placed in areas with significant bone and soft tissue loss. This course will provide evidence-based and up to date treatment solutions for different clinical scenarios where implant placement and restoration is not straightforward. Utilising clinically orientated lectures, hand-on-workshops, live surgeries, videos and case based discussions, the participant will be provided with the necessary knowledge, as well as, technical advice/tips starting from initial treatment planning to the delivery of final implant restorations in advanced cases where the lack of hard and soft tissue creates a challenging clinical situation.
- Become familiar with the digital pathway that could improve treatment outcomes from initial treatment plan to final restoration
- Understand and become familiar with the surgical techniques and biomaterials used routinely for guided bone restoration simultaneously or before implant placement
- To understand and become familiar with the surgical techniques for soft tissue preservation and augmentation during 2nd stage surgery or after implant restoration
- Understand and become familiar with the use of piezoelectric surgery
- Understand the use of short implants vs. sinus lift
- Develop treatment planning skills through case based presentations
