The California Implant Institute is presenting four-day, Level I and Level II comprehensive live patient surgical externship courses in Baja California, Mexico, throughout 2015. According to the California Implant Institute, students of any level can benefit from the variety and depth of the courses.
Level I course
Attendees of the Level I course will implement step-by-step implant surgical protocols on live patients under the supervision of Dr. Louie Al-Faraje and additional faculty.
The four-day course will include eight hours of lectures on diagnosis and treatment planning of implant cases (around two hours each morning). Each attendee will place 10-15 implants and assist with multiple implants on live patients.
Course participants will increase their knowledge and skill in the areas of flap design, alveoloplasty, implant placement, bone grafting and suturing techniques. Upon completion of the externship, attendees will have smoother transition from the classroom to surgically placing implants in their own offices.
All patients are carefully selected by the California Implant Institute faculty, and CT scans are provided for all patients. During the last program, 15 participants placed more than 170 implants including immediate and computer-guided placements and performed multiple bone-grafting procedures.
Level II course
Attendees of the Level II course will increase their knowledge and skill level in the areas of advanced implant surgical techniques, including lateral-window sinus lifting, maxillary and mandibular ridge expansions, CT graft and block grafting. Level II participants will work also with Piezotome and CO2 laser units, which are available at each Level II working station.
Attendees will accelerate their learning curve and add advanced implant-related surgical procedures to their practice.
Upcoming courses
The live patient surgical externship in Mexico is provided four times a year. Each of the Level I and Level II programs offer 32 C.E. credits. Complete information on the externship, including tuition, testimonials, staff bios, accommodations and location can be found on the California Implant Institute website, at www.implanteducation.net, by calling (858) 496-0574 or by requesting information via e-mail at info@implanteducation.net.
