ESSENTIALS

The Essentials course series includes the following teaching methodologies: evidence based clinical presentations enhanced by video surgery footage, live surgery observation, case treatment planning workshops that allow you to assess what you have learned, hands-on exercises performed on cadaveric specimens and/or simulated anatomic models, and simultaneous clinical training of your dental assistant to ensure seamless implementation of the learned concepts and procedures in your practice.

Essentials Advanced:

The third course in the limited-attendance Essentials series is designed for clinicians with intermediate to advanced experience in implant dentistry, who are looking to gain fundamental scientific and clinical knowledge, as well as surgical skills required to safely perform implant surgery procedures for edentulous case types with moderate alveolar ridge atrophy. 

Emphasis will be placed on:

• Patient evaluation

• Risk assessment

• Diagnostically driven surgical and prosthetic treatment planning

• Evidence based surgical protocols for performing dental implant surgery on patients presenting with case scenarios of advanced complexity

Case treatment planning exercises will help participants identify and avoid common errors related to diagnosis and treatment planning, selection of biomaterials and intra-operative decision making.

In this course, doctors will learn:

• How to develop low risk interdisciplinary restorative and surgical treatment plans for edentulous implant case types with moderate alveolar ridge atrophy, based on evidence based scientific information.

• How to perform successful implant patient consultations and interdisciplinary case presentations for edentulous patients.

• How to precisely execute surgery protocols for management of these implant case types.

• How to successfully manage soft and hard tissues during implant surgery and properly sequence peri-implant augmentation procedures.

Surgical assistants will receive training in the following areas:

• Identifying edentulous case types with moderate alveolar ridge atrophy

• Patient education

• Consultation and case presentation

• Informed consent

• Protocols for effective implant surgical assisting for these case types

• Care and maintenance of related implant instrumentation and equipment

• Introduction to dental implant and related biomaterial inventory control systems

• Peri-operative patient management considerations

This course will help surgical assistants with implementation of the Sclar Center Clinical Patient Management Protocols learned in this course for successful management of edentulous patients who present with moderate alveolar ridge atrophy.

Detail:
24 hours of CE credits are given for this 3-day certificate course. Although no prerequisite is required for this course, participants are expected to have intermediate experience in dental implant surgery and demonstrate proficiency in the surgical procedures detailed in the Sclar Center Essentials Fundamental and Intermediate Courses. Additionally, students should become familiar with the pre-course reading materials that will be supplied in advance. Students are encouraged to make hotel arrangements at the nearby Sonesta Bayfront Hotel in Coconut Grove. Transportation to and from the Sclar Center will be provided.
