This intimate course is limited to twelve doctors. We strive to meet each attendee where they are in their surgical journey. Cases will be assigned based on the experience and goals of the participants. All patients will be ASA 1 or 2, and all will be monitored during treatment. Participants will work in teams of two, taking turns as doctor and assistant.
Atraumatic tooth removal and GBR procedures demand meticulous protocols. This course is dedicated to instilling a rock-solid foundation. We’ll cover early case selection, strategizing, step by step surgical protocols from sectioning to graft selection to suturing. Also, a complete blueprint from pre-op consents to post-op guidelines. Each day, we spend about ninety minutes in lecture, and the remainder of the day YOU are performing surgery. You can expect to perform five to six surgeries from a few complex teeth requiring flaps (doesn’t matter if you never laid a flap – that is why you are here), graft selection, membrane use, socket seals, PRF to Full mouth extractions.
