What Does This
Course Cover?
Dental implant procedures require that the surgeon work in parts of the jaw that are outside the scope of everyday dentistry. Implantology often involves working in vital structures and surgical spaces that must be recognized and understood before working in these areas. Violation of these structures may create serious immediate or long-term consequences to the patient.
​
This program provides a systematic review of the anatomical structures, and participants will learn how to apply that knowledge in the surgical setting. The program is developed with a combination of modular lectures and cadaver dissection in the surgical anatomy lab to reinforce the learning. By the completion of this session, dentists can approach their surgery with confidence in knowing how to provide treatment in a safe manner.
​
The distinguishing feature of this program is the emphasis and reinforcement of practical application of surgical anatomy.
