Cadaver Mandible Lab Hands-On
Course Content:
This course is designed for doctors that wish to start surgically placing dental implants in their practice. You should already have a working knowledge of implant restorative concepts and treatment. Most dentists who take this course are general practitioners or specialists who have not placed implants before. We will cover all basic aspects dental implant surgery from initial diagnostics, records, treatment planning, guide stents, routine surgery, healing phase, general restorative concepts and long-term maintenance.
The emphasis of this course is showing the doctor how to identify routine implant surgery cases that can be performed predictably, safely and successfully in a general practice setting. Utilization of specialty referrals will be covered in terms of when, where and why. We will cover anatomy and physiology in some detail, as well as routine bone grafting socket sites and small defects encountered with basic implant surgery. You will place dental implants in a cadaver mandible to get a feel for human tissue response.
Objectives of this course include:
- Case selection of routine dental implant candidates
- Identification of risk factors
- Understanding the routine implant surgical procedure
- Operatory set-up/clean-up for the surgical assistant
