Surgery 1- Implant Foundation: Extractions, Grafting, Guided Surgery & Key Implant Restorative Fundamentals
- Posted on: Apr 26 2018
Course Type: Implantology Curriculum
The first of the surgical courses in the LVI Implant Continuum, this 3-day course is designed to introduce and train doctors on foundation implant procedures that are the cornerstone for all other implant cases. This course will focus on extractions, grafting and guided surgery and all the related skills needed to complete these procedures with confidence. Students will be required to schedule two of the typees of cases and complete within two weeks of the class completion. Then submit to LVI for clinical review for complete CE credit. In the past specialists only performed surgical implant dentistry and grafting procedures. With new technology and protocols conscientious clinicians are obtaining predictable results. The result is a predictable outcome with improved aesthetics, simplified prosthetics with profitable results and salvaged dentitions for everyday patients.
This course is designed to empower the dentist to take total control of their implant cases while gaining knowledge and confidence in dental implant treatment planning, patient work-ups, restorative principles, surgical procedures and protocols immediately after the class. This course will also cover the basics of implant placement control including steps for proper diagnosis, 3D diagnosis, choosing an ideal implant system and abutment and types of restorations.

Another fantastic course put on by LVI. Leo’s Implant course makes placing implants seem very easy and will allow any doctor to add implants to their practice.
– Dr. Andrew Leoni
This course sets the example for the dentist who wants to be positioned to survive the insurance downgrading of care and/or the corporate “discount” dentistry which is growing rapidly. Being able to place implants successfully and reliably will make the difference of being profitable and independent in the future.

“LVI has changed my whole outlook on dental assisting. I’ve been assisting for 20 plus years and never thought I would have this level of training. Starting out I was just a “spit sucker”. Now, I’m an essential part of the office and able to educate my patients and fulfill the visions my doctor has for his practice.”
