Course Description:

This is a lecture course 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 most up-to-date research directions are among the topics included.

Major Course Goals or Objectives:
The major objectives of this course are 1) to introduce the dentists to dental implantology,  2) to 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) to introduce the most recent techniques and material related to dental implantology to dentists who already place implants. 4) Clinical & technical for the candidates to insure their start as implantologist. 5) Formation of a network.

Course Duration:

The course is a continuing professional condensed education programme, comprising structured modules in the study and training in oral implantology, extending over two months. 6 days per month for 2 months (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday..alternative weeks). Short condensed courses are also available for foreigners (5-7 days).

Course Contents:

The course shall be divided into 4 modules:

1. Lectures (more than 50 hours).
2. Hands-on (simulation) implant placement and prosthetic training as well as hands-on sinus lifting.
