Digital Fabrication of Surgical Guides for Dental Implants – CANCELLED

Course Description

Implant complications are often inadvertent sequelae of improper diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical method and placement. This can be overcome by using surgical guides for implant positioning. Although conventionally-made surgical guides are used, the clinical outcome is often unpredictable, and even if the implants are well-placed, the location and deviation of the implants may not meet the optimal prosthodontic requirements. High accuracy in planning and execution of surgical procedures is important in securing a high success rate without causing iatrogenic damage. This can be achieved by use of computed tomography, 3D implant planning software, and image-guided template production techniques.

This course will cover the digital workflows for the prescription and chair side  fabrication of surgical guides for the placement of dental implants, including intraoral digital scanning and 3-dimensional (3D) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This course will focus on both tooth-supported and full-arch solutions for the hands-on component.

Participants will have hands-on opportunities to manipulate the latest systems involved in the printing and milling of surgical guides. Once you have fabricated your guide, you will perform a simulated guided surgery on an anatomic model.

Participants will have access to resources including software, templates and clinical guidelines to support and enhance your learning after the course.
