San Francisco Implant Dentistry Continuum
Restorative Implant Dentistry: Methodology to the Madness
Lecture and Hands-on Workshop
San Francisco CA
March 13 2005
This program is clinically focused while including the important research
foundations for evidence-based treatment. It provides participants with an
understanding of the rationale and scientific basis for clinical procedures
and techniques presented. The program faculty delivers state-of-the-art
education required to become knowledgeable in treatment planning cases,
patient work-ups, as well as basic to advanced surgical techniques, basic
to advanced prosthetic principles and techniques, staff motivation, effective
marketing, and future and ongoing research. The program allows significant
one-on-one interaction between the participants and the course faculty due
to its limited class size. The program is dedicated to both the art and the
science of dental implants.
The laboratory sessions play an integral role
in applying lecture materials to hands-on
practice. Two specialized surgical hands-on
sessions are implemented into this program.
The first session is for implant placement
techniques and is conducted utilizing a stock
model of the mandible. The second session
is for implant placement, bone
harvesting/bone grafting, use of membranes and graft materials, and is
conducted utilizing custom designed and fabricated models of an articulated
mandible and maxilla with specific defects for practicing the above mentioned
procedures. A prosthetic hands-on session utilizing specially
designed and developed models is also a component of training in this program.
This is a nine-month long program, with two-day sessions, meeting on a
Saturday and Sunday of each month. As this program meets one weekend
each month, participants will find the program to be perfectly suited to both
their educational needs, and to their busy professional schedules. This
scheduling allows for participating doctors to assimilate the materials presented
each month and then immediately apply it to their clinical practice
prior to the following session.
The participating course faculty members are widely considered
nationally and internationally to be top authorities within their
respective subject matters.The program is scheduled to begin on
February 26, 2005. Participants are encouraged to bring their own
cases for review and treatment planning, discussion, and assistance
throughout the program. Support is also available for program
participants for the surgical and prosthetic phases of treatment
by the various program faculty. This type of program has
been presented for the past 16 years by the program directors and
participating faculty. It is modified and updated each year in
regards to course content, teaching methodology, and program
faculty to ensure that the materials taught are absolutely current
and up-to-date. Be sure to register early!!
