Periodontics and Implants for the Non-Surgeon

Lecture | Demonstration | Hands-On | Clinical

Starts: November 11th & 12th, 2011

120 CE & AGD Credits


Introduction

This residency program was designed as series of modules for any Dentist that wants to expand their knowledge in the science, art and practice of Periodontal procedures from simple treatments to surgery, implant placemens and grafting. No longer is it possible to practice restorative dentistry without having an in depth knowledge of how to maintain and modify periodontal tissues. Optimal oral esthetics demands optimal periodontal form. Optimal systemic health demands optimal periodontal health. Successful general dental practices today must integrate many levels of periodontal and implant therapy to be successful.

This series of modules is designed to provide Dentists with the knowledge, hands-on laboratory and clinical experience necessary to integrate contemporary Periodontics into their practices immediately.
