Part I: Didactic and Model-Based Training
This continuum is designed to enable general practitioners and specialists to
integrate basic implantology into private practice. Training in patient
evaluation, surgical placement, and implant prosthetics will be provided along
with hands-on model-based training with major implant systems. You will learn
step-by-step techniques to allow for a safe and predictable implant placement
and restoration.
This course meets the continuing education requirements for ICOI Fellowship, Mastership, and and contributes to the maintenance requirements for ICOI Mastership and Diplomate Credentials.
Part II: Hands-on Implant Placement & Restoration
Upon successful completion of Part I of the
Continuum, you will have the option of performing both hands-on
surgical implant placement on a patient and a clinical restoration
session. These sessions will be in a one-to-one setting with a CDM
faculty member. Additional course fees will apply. Click here for further details.
