Surgical and Restorative Steps for Implants from Start to Finish
14 CE Hours

Course Outline 

​

This 2-day course is designed to provide dentists with a comprehensive understanding of the digital workflow for single implants and implant bridges. The course will cover topics such as CBCT imaging, virtual implant planning, 3D printing, guide fabrication, guided surgery protocols, intraoral scanning and scan bodies, and implant restorations. The program will be hands-on, practical, and evidence-based. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice on virtual implant planning software, 3D printing, and intraoral scanning technology. The course will also include case discussions and analysis to reinforce the concepts covered. By the end of the course, dentists will be equipped with the necessary tools to incorporate digital technology into their implant practice.
