About This Course
Every clinician encounters complications, but the key is knowing how to manage them predictably. This comprehensive, two-day, in-person course equips participants with the clinical knowledge and practical experience needed to identify, prevent, and treat surgical, prosthetic, and biological implant complications. Through focused lectures, real-world case discussions, and guided hands-on exercises, participants will learn strategies for early failure management, peri-implantitis prevention, and biomechanical troubleshooting. Emphasis is placed on using autologous biologics, tissue management, and evidence-based protocols to minimize risk and enhance long-term outcomes. By course end, clinicians will leave prepared to handle complications confidently and deliver more consistent implant success.
