SESSION FOUR is the most extensive HANDS-ON laser course that I have yet to see. From caries to biostim to snoring treatment, the Fotona laser can do it ALL! After a brief, but adequate, review of laser physics, every aspect of laser dentistry is explained and demonstrated in depth. “See one, do one, teach one” is the mantra of session four. Alumni are invited to return to present a case study, highlighting things they learned that have helped patients to heal.

ADD-ON AVAILBLE:: SDS ceramic implant hands-on training

NOTE: HDES4 now includes the option of SDS-specific zirconia implant training.  This training has been specifically requested by Dr. Ulrich Volz in order to standardize SDS implant placement in the US.  SDS-specific training happens on Thursday.  The general session happens on Friday and Saturday.

Whether beginner or expert, take your ceramic implant skills to the next level. During this full day training program, you will learn virtual case planning using CBCT, patient selection options, delayed and immediate placement techniques, pre- and post-operative planning including mixing Vit C infusion bags. Then, for hands-on training, placing SDS implants in 3-D printed models from actual case planning.

Topics Include:

• Understanding implantology – the difference between titanium and zirconia
• Virtual case planning
• Immediate and delayed surgical techniques
• Temporization
• Pre- and post-operative planning
• Infusion bag preparation
• Case Studies review
• Surgical protocols

Participants have the opportunity to virtually plan and place implants and then actual prep and place them in a 3D model
