Washington D.C. Implant Dentistry Continuum 2005-2006f
Dates: May 2005 - January 2006
Featuring: Lectures and Hands-On Model Workshops
144 Credit Hours
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 workups, 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 May 14, 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. The program has been sold out in Miami for the past 16 years, and is now being offered in Wasington D. C. for the first time. Be sure to register early!!
