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 Foundational:

The first course in the limited-attendance Essentials series is designed for clinicians with early to intermediate experience in implant dentistry looking to gain fundamental scientific and clinical knowledge and surgical skills required to safely perform implant surgery procedures for straightforward partially edentulous case types.

Emphasis will be placed on:

• Patient evaluation

• Risk assessment

• Diagnostically driven surgical and prosthetic treatment planning

• Surgical instrumentation and equipment

• Operatory set up

• Aseptic technique

• Evidence based surgical protocols for management of soft and hard tissues during implant surgery

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 straightforward partially edentulous implant case types based on evidence based scientific information.

• How to perform successful implant patient consultations and case presentations for patients presenting with straightforward partially edentulous case types.

• How to precisely execute implant surgery protocols for straightforward partially edentulous case types.

• How to successfully manage soft and hard tissues and avoid and manage common intra-operative surgical implant complications when performing surgery on straightforward partially edentulous patients.

Surgical assistants will receive training in the following areas:

• Identifying patients with straightforward partially edentulous implant case types

• Patient consultation and case presentation

• Informed consent

• Operatory set up

• Aseptic technique

• Protocols for effective surgical assisting for straightforward partially edentulous case types

• Care and maintenance of implant instrumentation and equipment

• Introduction to implant inventory control

• Peri-operative patient management considerations, including adjustment and reline of provisional prosthesis

This course will help surgical assistants with implementation of the Sclar Center Clinical Patient Management Protocols learned in this course for successful management of patients who present with straightforward partially edentulous implant case types.

Detail:
24 hours of CE credits are given for this 3-day course. No prerequisite is required for this course; however, participants are expected to have early experience and basic knowledge in implant dentistry. 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.
