4 Day Advanced Dental Implantology Course

Course Director:Dr. Amr Zahran, Professor of Periodontology, Cairo University

Course Description:
This is course designed to introduce the advanced concepts and principles
related to Dental and Oral Implantology. Starting from hard and soft tissue
augmentation to maxillary sinus floor augmentation, as well as treatment of
complicated cases. Controversies and most up-to-date research directions are
among the topics included

Major Course Goals or Objectives:
1.Introduce the dentists to the
Advanced Dental Implantology
2. Enable the dentists to treat difficult cases in which dental implants could complement or enhance the oral rehabilitation of the patient
3. Introduce the most recent surgical techniques and bone grafting as well as GBR materials related to Dental Implantology to dentists who are already placing implants.

Course Contents:
The course shall be divided into 4 modules:
1. Lectures.
2. Hands-on sinus lifting.
3. Live demonstrations.
4. Placement of twelve implants under supervision.

Lectures:
1. Hard tissue grafting:
• Types of bone grafting materials.
• Mechanism of action.
• Indications in different peri-implant bony defects.
• Evaluation of the most common commercially available grafting material.
• Platelet rich plasma.

2. Guided bone regeneration:
• Types of GBR barriers materials.
• Mechanism of action.
• Indications of GBR barriers.

3. Unconventional methods to modify bone quality and volume:
• Maxillary sinus floor augmentation.
• Distraction osteogenesis.
• Bone splitting and spreading.
• Mandibular nerve lateralization.
