Confident Implant Placement

Implant placement is a very successful treatment option under the condition that relevant requirements are respected. Inadequate protocols and insufficient tissues around dental implants will result in failing osseointegration, compromised outcomes, or delayed implant failures.

This implant course will teach you the diagnostic and surgical protocols to immediately increase the predictability and stability of your implant outcomes.

After this course, you will be much more confident in implant placement and the management of peri-implant tissues, soft tissue and bone grafting. Your implant outcomes will become much more predictable, resulting in increased implant success and higher patient satisfaction.

All relevant steps for safe implant placement will be addressed in lecture, surgical videos, and impactful hands-on.

The hands-on emphasizes on:
1. Smarter ways of implanting placement

– Implant placement, how to use implant drills in a “smarter” way
– Practical steps to better understand digital implant planning
– Prosthetically-driven soft tissue management to shape tissue
– Custom healing abutment to preserve appropriate gingival contour
– Implant placement and immediate provisional crown to manage emergence profile

2. Enhancing Peri-implant Tissues I: Soft tissue grafting

– Connective tissue graft, dissection split flap
– Enhance suturing: simple, continuous, mattress, lockstitch, double layer
– Closing flap with different kind of suture techniques
– Incisions and flap designs for different implant insertions
– Soft tissue enhancement in one-stage surgery
– Soft tissue to thicken buccal tissue at implant placement
– H incision, Roll flap, Palacci technique
– Second stage surgery

3. Enhancing peri-implant tissues II: Minimally invasive Bone grafting

– Grafting with autogenous bone harvested from implant bed
– Implant insertion with core graft simultaneously in a bone defect zone
– Local bone chips harvesting with drills or safe scraper
– Khoury’s “Carota Technique” – Minimally invasive, atraumatic
– Soft tissue management and tension-free suturing over bone grafting

In this dental implant course, Charles Khoury will teach you the entire implant spectrum from treatment planning to implant placement, and especially the related grafting, immediate and delayed implant protocols, and prosthetic considerations.

You will elevate your diagnostic and clinical skills with a concept which is:

> Biologically and prosthetically driven, evidence -based, and simple to apply
> Reduces the amount of needed surgical interventions
> Uses of autogenous tissues, and does not need biomaterials or membranes
> Is minimally invasive, faster in healing, and more efficient
> Uses implant site as donor site
> Increases the predictability and long-term success of your implants
> Brings simplicity to your implant dentistry
> Provides you with highest confidence in implant placement
> … and will impress your patients

This dental course on Confident Implant Placement is addressed to dentists with implant experience and who want to reach the next level of their expertise, looking for higher surgical predictability and a minimally invasive approach resulting in reduced surgical interventions, higher efficiency, and faster healing.

Wherever you stand in your implant career, due to the small class setting allowing for individualized training and one-on-one mentorship, this course will get you from where you are to where you want to be, and beyond

Use the Potential of Hard and Soft tissue Regeneration of the Recipient Site

Charles Khoury will provide you with clear guidelines for all different clinical situations in implant placement and peri-implant tissue enhancement. The potential of hard and soft tissue regeneration of the recipient site is one of the main topics of this implant course.

By understanding this potential, it will lead you to a better decision to when, where, why and how to insert an implant, that not only will give you an instant result but also a long term predictable successful one.
