Bone Engineering and Soft Tissue Management Around Implants
COURSE PROGRAM & DATES:
Session One April 3-4, 2009
Immediate loading, Impression techniques on implant patients, Soft Tissue Management and Soft Tissue Enhancement around Implants.
On Friday Drs will place implants on a typodont, place abutments and take impressions of the implants. The Drs will perform soft tissue surgeries on models or Pig Heads.
On Saturday, live surgery with immediate loading will be performed in patients. For this module, Drs will either bring their patients that have had implants placed during the course or patients they have done on their own for stage II and final impression. Some patients will require an attached gingiva enhancement. The participants will be trained "LIVE" in different techniques to uncover and enhance soft tissues around implants and in addition to take impressions on their implant patients.
