Course Objectives:

  • Describe and perform the step by step protocol of the Brånemark surgical approach for root form implant with “osseointegration” as the treatment goal.

  • Understand the surgical treatment plan options for abundant bone (Division A).

  • Appreciate and describe the components involved in implant body design, including the crest module, implant body and apical criteria.

  • Understand and apply principles for soft tissue incision, reflection and suturing in conjunction with root form placement.

  • Compare the surgical approach for ideal bone and the Brånemark approach to conditions of very hard or very soft bone.

  • Appreciate and reduce the consequences of pressure and heat generation during implant osteotomy procedures.

  • Increase surgical success rates in implant surgery in conditions of very hard or very soft bone.

  • Understand the diagnosis and treatment options of altered nerve sensation related to the posterior mandibular implant surgery.

  • Describe the surgical anatomy of the posterior mandible, with emphasis on the safe zone for endosteal implants.

  • Perform a detailed surgical uncovery of root form implants which is dependent upon the soft and hard tissue conditions.

  • Perform root form surgical procedures on single tooth and edentulous patient models.

  • Understand the events of bone formation after the extraction of a natural tooth.

  • Apply basic bone grafting procedures after the extraction of a natural tooth.

  • Understand the principles of osteoinduction.

  • Describe and treat the complications of root form surgery and the treatment of long term root form complications.

  • List six treatment plan options for removable restorations in a completely edentulous patient.

  • Understand and perform sedation for implant surgical procedures.

  • Provide radiographic interpretation for partially and completely edentulous patient conditions with available bone height.

  • Discuss and describe treatment plan options for partially and completely edentulous patients who desire fixed or removable restorations when adequate bone height is available.
