This course will be an interactive hands-on experience for all practitioners wishing to upgrade their skills in autogenous bone grafting procedures and management of soft tissue covering all aspects from simple to complex treatment.
<p>Modern implant dentistry is evolving into more sophisticated techniques. The newer treatment goals intend to be less invasive to patients and tissues, to achieve tissue preservation over collapse, to reduce the amount of implant surgical procedures, and to reduce cost of implant treatment.<br><br>In this consideration, the concepts of immediate implant placement in post-extraction sockets play a center role. But when the extraction site shows significant compromises, like bone loss or inflammation, these cases become risky to treat, especially in the esthetic zone.<br><br>Single-tooth replacement is a common indication for dental implant placement. Compromised teeth are removed using atraumatic principles and in the esthetic area immediately replaced by an implant-supported provisional resulting in excellent esthetic.</p>
<p>Advanced implant placement is a very successful treatment option when certain parameters are respected. However, insufficient peri-implant tissues or unexpected conditions during implant placement will result in compromised outcomes, failing osteointegration, or delayed peri-implantitis.<br><br>Charles Khoury will teach you the clinical skills for the entire implant spectrum, and all relevant subjects in the state-of-the art of surgical and prosthetic protocols will be addressed in lecture, demonstration and hand-on.</p>
<p>In the past, more attractive smiles, improved dental esthetics and durable results have been directly linked to ceramic veneers and crowns. Modern composite resin technology has challenged this assumption and is becoming the favorable choice of treatment for anterior teeth.<br><br>Moreover, direct composite restorations allow for minimally invasive or no preparation at all when modifying existing tooth anatomy or replacing decayed tissues; this constitutes an unparalleled advantage of “free-hand bonding”.</p>
