The course presents the most important procedures combining together various aspects of study of implants, prosthetics and periodontics.
The training covers the subsequent elements of the clinical and laboratory procedures based on an extensive and professional collection of photos, giving the dentist a comprehensive view of above mentioned procedures and prosthetic solutions used in study of implants. The practical part allows one to familiarize with all parts of the system, their modification and suitability for different types of prosthetic devices.
This course may be conducted as a single, one-day training course for prosthetic dentists or as part of a larger two-day programme including surgical procedures.
