5 Day Intensive Implantology Course
OsteoCare™ Dental Implantology Training Centre (Cairo)
Intensive Courses for UK Dentists


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

Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce the basic as well as the advanced concepts and principles related to dental and oral implantology. Starting from historical perspectives, implant biomaterials and principles of placement to hard and soft tissue reconstruction and maintenance, treatment of complications, controversies and the most up-to-date research directions are among the topics included.

Major Course Goals or Objectives:
1. Introduce the dentists to dental implantology.
2. Enable the dentists to recognize those patients and/or those clinical situations in which dental implants could complement or enhance the oral rehabilitation of the patient and
3. Introduce the most recent techniques and material related to dental implantology to dentists who already place implants
4. Allow the dentist to place many implants in patients provided by the training center
5. Support the trained dentist to start his practice in his country as fast as possible.

Course Contents:
The course shall be divided into 3 modules:
1. Lectures
2. Hands-on (simulation) implant placement and prosthetic training as well as hands-on sinus lifting
3. Surgical training of the participant (each participant will place at least 6 implants by himself under supervision)

Lectures:
1. Introduction to dental implantology:
• History of dental implants
• Types of dental implants
• Patient selection and diagnosis
• Dental implant surgical kits & tools
• Dental implant prosthetic parts
• Overall view about implant insertion

2. Different approaches for implant insertion after tooth extraction:
• Late implantation
• Immediate post-extraction implantation
• Delayed immediate implantation
• Dental implantation in infected sites
Detailed description of each method, as well, as its advantages and indications.

3. OsteoCare Dental Implants (New Concept):
• Mini & Midi implants
• Comp-Ex principle
• Maxi Z implant
• Maxi-Z One-Piece Implant

4. Immediate loading of root-form dental implants:
• Immediate loading of single implant
