Comprehensive Prosthodontically-Driven Implant Dentistry

Catalog description

GR This is a one-semester course that is repeatable to encompass the entire academic year. The course is intended to introduce periodontal and prosthodontic residents to prosthodontically-driven implant dentistry. A progression of modules will be completed to expose learners to the diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical procedures, restorative workflows, and maintenance phase of dental implant therapy. A variety of educational resources will be utilized, including resident presentations on assigned topics, case presentations, didactic seminars, and hands-on exercises. Teaching materials will be posted in an online Blackboard course, so they are available for future reference. The course goal is that residents will gain comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge, enhance their utilization of clinical photography and patient data collection, and use critical thinking in case selection and patient care management regarding dental implant treatment.
