Synergy in Implant Dentistry – the Bernese Interdisciplinary Approach
In association with the University of Bern
Course information
This 4-day evidence-based foundation course is designed for clinicians with an interest in the field of implant dentistry. This course presents evidence-based treatment concepts for the rehabilitation of fully and partially edentulous patients. Besides lectures, the participants will see several live surgeries observing how dental implants are placed, bone augmentation performed and biologic complications or soft tissue defects are treated. In addition, the course offers the opportunity of workshops in treatment planning, digital workflows, surgical periodontal and prosthetic treatment concepts. The course involves lectures presenting the underlying principles for treatment solutions and fully documented clinical cases. Several live surgeries demonstrate the placement of dental implants, bone augmentations and the treatment of biologic complications or soft tissue defects. In addition, small-group training in treatment planning, digital workflows, surgical, periodontal and prosthetic is provided in hands-on workshops.
