IMPLANT THERAPY FOR EDENTULOUS PATIENTS (COURSE B)

Participants will place implants in edentulous models and restore with overdenture

Participants will also observe implant placement and restoration with overdenture on a live patient

SYNOPSIS:

According to CDC data, approximately one-third of Americans over the age 65 are edentulous and their number is projected to increase over the next twenty years. Implant-supported prostheses have been documented to improve the quality of life of patients and are gaining acceptance as the standard of care. A variety of treatment options exist for edentulous patients. Implant-supported prostheses can solve

many of the problems experienced by patients with complete dentures. This intense 2-day course brings together surgical and prosthodontic experts for a systematic presentation of therapeutic options for the edentulous patient. The format of this course consists of lectures, hands-on workshop and live surgery demonstration.
