This intensive and highly personalized course is designed to take the clinician to the highest level of knowledge related to the surgical and restorative aspects of implants.

Great emphasis will be placed on esthetic outcomes along with the biological approach to treatment of patients. The participants will see videos of implant placement in the esthetic zone, as well as sinus lift surgeries to rebuild the posterior maxilla. The interplay between the surgical and restorative aspects of implants will be emphasized throughout the course.
