Dr. Todd Engel Introduction
This course allows the participant to spend two pre-surgery days learning strategies about safe and predictable implant placement, followed by day 3, participating on a live surgical procedure on a preselected patient provided by the Engel institute. Mentoring 1 focuses primarily on placing in the posterior region from the bicuspid back.
The Core
M1 emphasize and furthers your knowledge on soft tissue management. This is not only important for the health and integrity of the implant, but the aesthetic result of the prosthetics. Mentoring 1 will expand on how to obtain adequate keratinized tissue around the implant and how to analyze appropriate tissue needs. The lecture will also go into prosthetics, restorative timeline, torque value, impressions, and when to refer. This course will also demonstrate how to safely perform internal sinus lifts when inadequate bone height is present for implant placement.
Live surgery
The live patient portion will demonstrate how both soft and hard tissue components, along with the proper drilling protocol, can lead to a predictable and safe surgical procedure with an aesthetic restorative outcome. All attending doctors will perform an implant placement on a live patient with the guidance of a supervising mentor as well as assist with and observe the other on-going surgeries.
