Course Description:

This CE provides an understanding of the key elements that predict long-term implant success. Hard and soft tissue implant complications are prevalent, and these can ultimately lead to implant failures. This course will focus on strategies to preserve, manipulate, and augment bone that will lay the foundation for long-term implant hard and soft tissue stability. 

Course Objectives:

• Achieve predictable bone augmentation.
• Learn the techniques to achieve predictable esthetic and functional implant success.
• Understand different materials, the differences between them, and their
  Indications.
