NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: Dental professionals worldwide can hone their skills, learn about the latest techniques and share information — online or on location — through the new Institute for Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry (IIRD). The state-of-the-art facility opened Nov. 16 at the South Florida campus of BIOMET 3i, a global leader in dental implants, abutments and regenerative oral health-care products.

Education and knowledge sharing of evidence-based dentistry using leading-edge technology is at the heart of IIRD. World-renowned leaders in the fields of implant and reconstructive dentistry comprise the faculty and guest-speaker panel.

The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art dental and educational technology to maximize experiential learning through live surgeries, tele-surgeries, hands-on training, educational programs, lectures and information sharing. The IIRD also will conduct online educational programs, including lecture series, university partnership programs and industry events and meetings.

“The Institute for Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry is designed to serve dental professionals as a trusted educational partner. However, we go beyond providing ‘continuing education’ courses,” explains Anthony Singleton,
BIOMET 3i global director, the Institute for Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry. “Regardless of their experience level, dental professionals will be able to fine-tune their skills, build their confidence with the latest dental technology and, perhaps, be challenged by new perspectives on patient care. All this can lead to growing their practices and enhancing patient outcomes.”

The IIRD is the culmination of the vision of BIOMET 3i co-founder Richard J. Lazzara, DMD, MScD, who passionately believes education, evidence-based research and leading-edge dental techniques are essential to providing the best dental solutions and care to patients. Lazzara is one of many world-class dental professionals who will serve as faculty of the institute.

Subject matter ranging from treatment planning, advances in digital dentistry, implant dentistry innovations, implant restoration, CT-guided surgery and advanced diagnostics and complex case management provides a comprehensive education continuum for varying levels of dental specialists and clinicians, allied staff and dental laboratory technicians. Programs are continuously added.

In addition to information about course offerings and online registration, the IIRD website allows visitors to take a virtual tour of the facility. Articles and research, videos and interviews are also included on the website, along with links to the Journal of Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry (JIRD), the official publication of the IIRD.
