Dental Implant Mini Residency – Session #1

This program is designed to teach surgical protocols for endosseous implants in healed or immediate extraction sites, surgical principles for predictable guided bone regeneration using particulate and block grafts, treatment approaches from single to “All on X” fixed and detachable prosthesis and handling implant complications. There will be Hands On exercises daily to reinforce procedures resulting in a consistent revenue stream in private practice. This is a highly practical curriculum focusing on methodical “recipes” for implant treatment, which participants can implement immediately in their practice. Why take the Mini Residency in New York City? Objectives:

• To explain surgical protocols for site preservation, implant surgery, and guided bone regeneration for the reconstruction for single tooth to the full arch patient
• To learn the step by step prosthetic protocols for the FP1, FP2, Overdenture, and “All on X” fixed detachable prosthesis
• To introduce the clinician to the digital aspect of single tooth to full arch implant reconstruction
• To address common shortfalls or complications and how best to manage them
• Case presentations and “Hands On” exercises will be utilized throughout the Mini Residency to reinforce clinical protocols and procedures
