Course Description Upon successful completion and full payment of Part I of the Continuum, participants will have the option of performing up to two surgical implant placements on a patient. These sessions will be instructed by a CDM faculty member in a one-to-one clinical setting. Prior to performing the implant placement, all Part II participants must first observe two implant procedures in the CDM clinic. Participants may also opt for observation only. Additional course fees will apply.
2011 Pricing An educational fee of $250 is required for the two observation sessions. If you choose to continue to place implants on a live patient, this payment will be applied toward your implant placement fees. Various options are available for your convenience, based on the needs and comforts of the patient: - When you work with and provide* your own patient in the CDM clinic, a $1,500 fee applies. Once the patient is approved and all necessary paperwork is completed, surgery is scheduled. After surgery you will be responsible for doing the restoration work in your own office. This fee does not include the cost of the cone bean scans or implants, the cost of which can be covered by you or your patient. All patients must be approved by the course director. - When you work with a patient provided by CDM, the $3,000 fee includes the cost of scans and materials for up to two implants. - When you identify a patient requiring more complex work, such as a sinus lift, you assist a Columbia Faculty member or resident doing the surgery. Pricing depends on the needs of the patient, the cost of which can be covered by your or your patient. In addition to the cost of the cone beam scan and implant, a $1,000 fee applies for sinus lifts and a $1,000 fee applies for advanced bone graft. *Additional lab fees may apply.
