Advanced course in Implantology

Description

Note: Batches are announced based on the number of students and can be tentative.Kindly contact us to know the schedule.

Modern dental practice requires a more comprehensive treatment plan for patients suffering from different clinical ailments. Patients having ideal bone and soft tissue conditions can be treated with implant supported prosthesis with fundamental knowledge of science of implantology. Atrophied alveolar ridges need correction of bone volume by bone manipulations or grafting procedures. Pneumatization of maxillary sinus poses a challenge while placing implants in posterior maxilla. Augmentative procedures direct and indirect grafting can overcome this challenge. Gaining attached keratinized tissue around implant is indicated in the area of resorbed alveolar bone. Soft tissue augmentation not only improves the aesthetics but also create attached keratinized tissue which protects the peri-implant area and helps in long term maintenance. Three dimensional reconstructions as well as nerve repositioning surgeries are advanced surgical procedures needing the skills as well as sound knowledge base.

These three level training programs are designed to help clinicians to diagnose, plan the treatment as well as achieve the challenging results with confidence.
