This is a series of 3-day modular courses on Restorative Implantology and Guided Surgical Implantology which includes design of surgical guides using CoDiagnostiX software. These course contain both didactic and practical components, and the content is strongly evidence-based, aiding the clinical operator to have confidence that their procedures have been validated by research. The courses cover:
- Module R1 – Single Unit Implant Restorations (two dates of this module are available)
- Module R2 – Multi Unit Implant Restorations
- Module R3 – Full Arch Implant Restorations
- Module S1 – Single and Multi-Unit Surgical Guide Design & Guided Implant Surgery.
- Module S3 – Full Arch Surgical Guide Design & Guided Implant Surgery.
Module S1 covers single and multi-unit surgical guide design and guided implant surgery. This includes:
- Knowing when guides are NOT accurate;
- Different guided implant systems available;
- Facilitating taking high quality CBCTs for useable implant planning;
- Core skills using CoDiagnostiX implant planning software;
- Using the proposed restoration to drive the surgical placement of implants;
- Understanding correct implant depth, angulation and position based on restorative plan for single and multi-unit restorations;
- Understanding the difference in implant designs (head/body/apex shape, thread pitch/depth, etc.) and their impact on surgery;
- Critical concepts regarding tooth supported guide design: sufficient support to prevent rocking, methods to verify complete seating of guides and positioning of guide sleeves.
- Risk factors and relative/absolute contraindications for implant surgery;
- Concept of sterile fields for implant surgery;
- Flap design and closure, including replaced/repositioned/roll flaps and tissue (full and partial) punch;
- Suture materials and suturing techniques;
- Osteotomy preparation and implant placement using partially guided and fully guided systems;
- Pre- and post-operative care and medications;
- Knowing when implants are unrestorable and require explantation.
Hands-on exercises:
- Using implant software to restoratively drive single and multi-unit cases;
- Creating access to osteotomy sites using replaced/repositioned/roll flaps, in combination with full/partial tissue punches;
- Preparing osteotomy and placing implants using a fully and partially guided system through a surgical guide;
- Placement of 6 different types of implants, including bone vs tissue level, straight-walled vs tapered, shallow vs deep thread depth;
- Use of bone profilers for subcrestal placement;
- Placement of closure caps and healing abutments;
- Flap closure around closure caps and healing abutments;
- Explantation of unrestorable implants using reverse torque devices and trephines.
- Each module $3600 incl. GST
- Includes lunch and refreshments
- 10% early bird discount for each module if paid at least 30 days in advance of each module’s course date.
- This course is compliant with current DBA guidelines on CPD.
