Hands On Implant Placement With Live Patient Surgeries

March 7-11, 2009
Limited to 6 participants!

 

Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to allow those who have already completed an intense course of didactic study of implant dentistry (e.g., MCG Maxi  Course) to combine that knowledge with the clinical experience afforded only through actual live surgery.  To maximize this opportunity, the course will allow at least six patient surgeries with a minimum of six implants placed.  The course directors will contact and invite participants deemed most qualified for the course, and will limit the number of participants to six.

Future courses in the mini-residency format will be offered for sinus lift surgery and more advanced implant placement.
