GBR? CTG? WTF!
Predictable bone grafting and soft tissue management around single implants

Implant dentistry has brought us a paradigm shift in the treatment of the partial dentition.
90% of dentists who place implants, place less than 20 a year and often struggle with GBR and getting stable soft tissues around the eventual implant.

This course is aimed at GDP’s placing between 5 and 30 implants a year, who wish to expand their knowledge and skills for connective tissue grafting and GBR around implants.

The day will consist of an hour lecture regarding the theory and application of the various types of connective tissue grafts and their indications, followed by live surgery with implant placement and a CTG (connective tissue graft) in the morning.
Followed after lunch (provided) with a hands on exercise on pig jaws, where participants will place an implant, do GBR and a CTG (connective tissue graft).
