Advanced Periodontal Implant Surgery: A Practical Training Course

Advanced Periodontal Implant Surgery: A Practical Training Course is organized by the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and will be held from Aug 08 - 12, 2023 at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America.

Objectives:
This course is designed to help dentists incorporate hard and soft tissue grafts as well as advanced implant surgeries into their daily practices. After completion of this five-day continuing education course, the participant will be exposed to:
• Implant esthetic treatment plan.
• Immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization.
• Indications and contraindications for regular periodontal surgeries, periodontal/implant plastic surgery, surgical crown lengthening and advanced bone graft/implant procedures.
• Soft tissue management around dental implants.
• Management of common implant complications.
• Advanced bone graft procedures that include ridge augmentation, guided bone regeneration (e.g., sandwich bone augmentation, sausage bone augmentation), vertical bone augmentation and sinus lift procedures (e.g., lateral window approach and osteotome technique as well as piezo instrumentation for opening the window).
• Tissue engineering (e.g., growth factors {e.g., platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF)}, enamel matrix proteins, gene therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)) could be used to enhance clinical outcomes.

This CE course combines didactic lectures and hands-on workshops with fresh cadaver specimens to cover a broad range of advanced periodontal/implant surgical techniques.
