This module will consist of didactic and practical sessions over eight days. There will be two sessions scheduled over three days and one session scheduled over two days.

The sessions will cover steps involved in the provision of aesthetic implant supported prostheses, grafting (hard and soft tissue) and immediate implant loading. Advanced surgical techniques such as the placement of short implants and the use of piezo-electric surgery will be discussed.

Protocols and materials available to aid in the augmentation of hard and soft tissues will be covered.

Surgical complications and their management will be discussed. The pathogenesis and management of peri-implantitis will be covered. Limitations in implant dentistry will be discussed.

Practical sessions:

  • exercises in soft tissue grafting on models
  • exercises in bone grafting on models and animal specimens
