UB Symposium on Implant Dentistry
COURSE DESCRIPTION The Loma Linda University Implant Dentistry program was founded 28 years ago and offers a unique perspective in this field. Clinical and research experiences gained over this time will be used to describe and illustrate the most recent and scientifically proven clinical procedures in implant dentistry. During the presentation, attendees will receive in depth knowledge regarding the scientific principles and clinical procedures required for optimal treatment of patients who could benefit from dental implants. Evidence-based research will be combined with illustrated clinical procedures to help the participants make informed decisions about the options available for their implant patients. At the completion of the program, participants should be able to: ® Identify the design principles upon which current implant diagnosis and treatment planning is based ® Describe the diagnostic imaging modalities used to enhance the treatment planning of implant patients ® Understand current surgical protocols for implant placement ® Discuss the clinical applications of advanced surgical procedures in implant dentistry ® Understand the predictable methods used to achieve esthetic implant restorations ® Identify the most common types of complications encountered in implant dentistry ® Understand interactive learning methodology in implant dentistry
