Program Description
Course Description
The Dental Implant Surgical Seminar (DISS) helps general and restorative dentists expand their private practice into implant surgery. The seminar provides a thorough introduction to the basics of dental implant surgery and hands-on training in soft tissue management and anatomical structures.
The DISS Implant seminar consists of one day of lectures and two days of surgery. Lectures are given by veteran practitioners who have placed thousands of implants and held academic positions in implantology at highly regarded institutions such as the New York University College of Dentistry. Digital lecture files are provided to each participant. Then, all participants get a hands-on surgical experience, placing multiple implants in live-patients through computer-guided surgery. All live-patient surgeries are performed at the state-of-the-art UFM facility and are supervised by the DISS team of implant surgeons.
The advantage of DISS is that you will practice on your first patient’s 3D-printed jaw model before the actual surgery. This feature of the course allows you to be comfortable and confident before your first surgery, and it improves patient outcomes and overall experience. Credits from DISS can be used toward the required 100 hours of implant education necessary for the ICOI Fellowship. In addition, participants will receive 21 CE credits.
