What is being offered?
In addition to the education opportunities, and connecting with doctors throughout the USA, Latin America and the World, our collective goal is for each participant to have a didactic understanding and surgical skills to place implants on their own after our course.
All patients will have proper post operative care as well as temporary and final restorations via digital workflows.
Level I Operating Trainees (L1):
- Each L1 Trainee will first learn and then perform implant surgery or first-assisting all day for 4 days. Each L1 Trainee will rotate with their counterpart L1 Trainee with each patient. This allows for each Trainee to learn, see, do and then eventually teach. Our goal is for each doctor to take their skills back to their home countries and help reduce their edentulous populations as a whole.
- L1 Trainees should expect for the first two days to be half the day didactic learning and the second half, live patient surgery. The last two days will be dedicated for full day live patient surgery. After each day at dinner, there will be a debriefing of the day’s events.
- A summary of L1 Trainee itinerary will include:
- Armamentarium
- CT scan review and 3d placement of implant on CT with template designs
- Anatomy of dental implants

- Bone and ridge changes after extraction and implant placement

- Proper temporization techniques Cement vs. screw retained Provisionals. custom healing abutment vs full temporization
