Course Overview
This full-day course connects three surgical disciplines that are usually taught separately: extraction and socket preservation, grafting materials and biologics, and implant placement.
The morning and midday sessions cover the biology and clinical decision-making behind each step. The afternoon is dedicated to hands-on implant placement training from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, applying the protocols covered in lecture with direct faculty guidance.
