Bone & Tissue in Implantology (Dissection course on Human Cadaver)

A 3-day Advanced and Intensive Course on Soft and Hard tissue reconstruction with Hands-on Training on Human Cadaver

Course Introduction & Forewords to Delegates:

We are pleased to welcome you to this comprehensive 3-day course dedicated to advanced implantology techniques, specifically focusing on Maxillary Sinus Grafting, the All-On-4 (AO4) concept, Zygomatic Implants, and Subperiosteal Implants. In an era where dental implants have become an essential component of restorative dentistry, it is crucial to equip practitioners with the latest knowledge and skills to meet the growing demands of our 
patients. This course is designed to combine expert knowledge with hands-on experience, providing participants with a thorough understanding of the foundational principles and practical applications of these advanced surgical procedures. We are honored to have distinguished faculty members—Prof. Paolo Malo, Prof. Marco Roy, Prof. Shahram Ghanaati, and Dr. Achille Peivandi—who bring a wealth of expertise and experience. Their guidance will ensure that you not only gain theoretical knowledge but also develop the clinical skills necessary to excel in your practice.In this intensive 3-day program, participants will immerse themselves in didactic and practical training on several critical areas of implant dentistry. The first two days will be dedicated to the theoretical aspects of Maxillary Sinus Grafting, Zygomatic Implants, Bone Augmentation, Sub-periosteal Implants, and the AO4 technique. Our esteemed faculty will delve deep into the scientific principles, indications, contraindications, and latest advances associated with these procedures. Case studies, discussions, and expert insights will enhance your learning experience. On the third day, participants will engage in a hands-on workshop, applying the knowledge gained in the first two days. You will have the unique opportunity to practice Maxillary Sinus Grafting and Bone Augmentation techniques on human cadaver specimens at the Laboratory of Anatomy. This invaluable practical experience will enable you to refine your skills in a controlled environment, preparing you for real-world applications.
By the end of this course, participants will have acquired the skills, techniques, and confidence to effectively implement advanced surgical procedures in their practices, enhancing patient outcomes and expanding the scope of care they provide.

We look forward to your participation in this enriching educational experience, where theory meets practice, and expertise is shared among peers.

Course Abstract:

This specialized 3-day course offers a deep dive into the intricate techniques of maxillary sinus grafting, bone augmentation, and subperiosteal implant placement. One of the unique highlights of this course is a full-day hands-on session using human cadaver specimens, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge directly to practical scenarios. Throughout the course, expert instructors will lead in-depth discussions on the latest advancements in maxillary sinus grafting, bone augmentation strategies, and subperiosteal implant techniques. Participants will gain valuable insights into patient selection, treatment planning, surgical protocols, and post-operative care for optimal outcomes. The hands-on session on human cadavers provides a realistic setting for participants to refine their skills, enhance their understanding of anatomical structures, and practice various surgical procedures under guided supervision. This interactive experience aims to boost participants' confidence and proficiency in performing complex procedures in a controlled environment. By the end of the course, attendees will leave with a comprehensive knowledge base, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of the nuances involved in maxillary sinus grafting, bone augmentation, and subperiosteal implant placement, positioning them to excel in their practice and deliver enhanced patient care.
