About the Course
The HANDS-ON ZIRCONIA DENTAL IMPLANTS course offers a broad overview of the methods and techniques involved in case planning and placing zirconia implants.
The first part is a lecture about ceramic implants’ special properties, different surgical techniques between zirconia and titanium, case planning and avoiding failures. The instructor will also use verified case studies to highlight the advantages of placing zirconia dental implants. Temporization and final restorations will also be discussed. The trainer will perform a live surgery and shadowing opportunity for all participants.
The second part will be “Hands-On” where participants will be given the opportunity to place zirconia implants in models. The instructor will lead the hands-on part with a demonstration of the techniques involved. This will be followed by personalized instruction during which the attendees place zirconia implants and the trainer will offer guidance. The session will end with Q&A, and a discussion about marketing zirconia implants in their practice.
