About the Event
Understand how to create routine success at even advanced horizontal and vertical bone augmentation. Learn the “why” behind many procedural steps that promote the best outcomes, minimize complications and anticipate integration with the patient’s entire treatment plan. With the vital and practical instruction in this course, you can dramatically expand the limits of your patient acceptance and professional growth with confident proficiency in several modes of implant site development and implant reconstruction.
This course will include a hands-on hard tissue grafting workshop and LIVE surgical demonstration cases.
*COVID-19 guidelines will be strictly observed for your safety.
• Perform Successful, Predictable Alveolar Ridge Bone Grafting
• Expand Your Surgical Skill set
• Increase Your Case Acceptance
• Minimize/Manage Complications
• Guard Your Practice Against Covid-19 Era Instability
• Provide the Best Possible Care to Your Patients
• Learn from Dr. Pikos’ 35 Years of Bone Graft Experience
• “Take Home” What Works, What Doesn’t and Why
