Course Overview
Advanced Bone & Tissue Regenerative Surgery for the reconstruction of severely atrophic jaw
This unique CPD programme is designed to provide highly structured and comprehensive training for the experienced implant surgeon in reconstructive pre-prosthetic oral surgery.
The programme is designed to teach delegates to:
a) Gain comprehensive knowledge through a series of pre-course preparatory webinars delivered by experts in the field
b) Develop hands on cadaveric surgical skills
c) Learn from surgical demonstrations and live surgery performed by Professor Ucer
d) Perform sinus grafting surgery under supervision at ICE hospital after completing parts 1 – 4 of the course (optional)
The course will cover everything you need to know about advanced bone and tissue reconstructive surgery including lateral sinus grafting. You will be taught by a faculty of eminent ENT consultants, oral surgeons and implant experts, under Professor Ucer’s lead, benefitting from his 30 years of experimental and clinical expertise in hard and tissue regenerative surgery, vertical & horizontal GBR sinus grafting and the treatment of severely atrophic maxilla & mandible including zygomatic implant surgery.
You will also learn how to use Implant-Pro, a unique on-line patient assessment and treatment planning tool developed by ICE Faculty. You will have one year’s free access to use this outstanding on-line tool for automated treatment planning and informed consent generation, standardised for each individual patient from the raw clinical and diagnostic data gathered during assessment.
