Course description

Elevate your implant surgery skills

Led by HSDM faculty, the program combines focused instruction with immersive hands-on learning in surgical anatomy, implant placement, flap design, suturing, and soft-tissue management.

With one faculty member for every four participants, the program is intentionally structured to provide meaningful hands-on participation, close faculty guidance, and an engaging learning environment.

 

Hands-on experience

A defining feature of this program is its immersive donor-based surgical anatomy experience, designed to translate anatomical knowledge into surgical practice. Limited to a small number of participants, the program provides an intimate, highly interactive learning environment with meaningful hands-on experience, close faculty guidance, and opportunities to refine surgical techniques with greater precision and confidence.

  • Applied surgical anatomy
    Explore clinically relevant surgical anatomy and anatomical structures important to implant surgery.
  • Implant placement
    Practice guided and freehand implant placement and principles of immediate implant placement.
  • Flap design and suturing
    Practice flap design, elevation, closure, and suturing techniques relevant to implant surgery.
  • Soft-tissue management 
    Explore principles and techniques for soft-tissue management around implants.
  • Surgical planning
    Integrate CBCT interpretation, anatomical knowledge, and surgical planning into hands-on exercises.

 

Who should attend

This course is designed for:

  • General dentists with previous implant placement experience 
  • Periodontists  
  • Prosthodontists  
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgeons 
  • Implant-focused clinicians seeking to strengthen their surgical anatomy knowledge and surgical skills
