Periodontal Surgery, Implant Placement and Bone Grafting Courses
All courses given by Advanced Dental Education Seminars have the PACE approval. We limit our courses to a maximum of 30 attendees, so that the instructor to doctor ratio allows for optimal hands-on learning. Courses have a solid clinical and evidence-based surgical foundation. We cater to doctors with varying levels of surgical experience so that they can achieve a higher proficiency in surgical procedures or fine tune their current silks. Doctors are able to not only perform all surgical procedures taught, they are also able to work with all materials and instruments that are discussed. These courses offer doctors a unique hands-on, interactive approach to learning.

Hands-On Periodontal Surgery Course I: Allogenic Soft Tissue Surgery
Learn an overview of head and neck anatomy pertinent to each respective procedure, biology of wound healing, advanced surgical techniques, and related periodontal plastic procedures that may also be used in conjunction with dental implant therapy. Procedures to be covered include: harvesting of masticatory mucosa, soft tissue grafting with palatal tissue, pedicle & transpositional grafting, techniques for use of acellular dermis around teeth & dental implants, acellular dermis for predictable root coverage, acellular dermis tunnel grafting, and coronally repositioned pedicle graft.
Hands-On Basic Bone Grafting and Periodontal Surgery on Cadavers
Learn an overview of pertinent head and neck anatomy to dentoalveolar surgery, biology of healing, surgical closure, advanced soft tissue surgical techniques for restoring three dimensional soft tissue topography and sculpting gingival tissues to enhance patients' smiles and surgical consent. This course will expose the participant to a wide range of flap designs for biopsies, atraumatic extractions, periodontal surgery, and dental implant therapy. Participants will learn the available suture materials, surgical needles, surgical techniques and how they should be selected for various surgical procedures.
Hands-On Implant Placement Cadaver Course
Learn the fundamental biomechanics of bone and understanding of the rationale for the diagnosis, treatment planning and the clinical practice of placing root form dental implants. Additionally, an overview of informed consent, pre- & post-operative considerations along with elucidating the possible post-operative spread of infection pathways and the management of these situations.
Hands-On Advanced Bone Grafting Course
Learn the art and science of monocortical block grafting, sinus augmentation, regenerative membrane application, hard and soft tissue management including advanced flap manipulation and platelet rich plasma (PRP), and use of the Piezotome Unit. You will experience comprehensive biomechanical and prosthetic principles as they impact the predictability of bone grafting through comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning skills, along with extensive hands-on experience.
