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 Intermediate:

The second 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, as well as surgical skills required to safely perform implant surgery procedures for advanced 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 successfully performing dental implant surgery on patients presenting with partially edentulous case types with minimal to moderate alveolar atrophy

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 advanced 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 advanced partially edentulous case types.

• How to precisely execute surgery protocols for management of edentulous implant case types with minimal to moderate atrophy.

• How to successfully manage soft and hard tissues and avoid and manage common intra-operative surgical implant complications when performing surgery on edentulous patients with minimal or moderate atrophy.

Surgical assistants will receive training in the following areas:

• Identifying patients with advanced partially edentulous implant case types

• Patient education

• Consultation and case presentation

• Informed consent

• Operatory set up

• Potocols for effective implant surgical assisting for these case types with minimal to moderate atrophy

• Care and maintenance of implant instrumentation and equipment

• Introduction to dental implant inventory control systems

• 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 advanced partially edentulous implant case types with minimal to moderate 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 Foundational Course. 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.
