Course Description

This comprehensive course focuses on the critical principles and techniques for immediate implant placement and ridge preservation to ensure predictable, long-lasting implant outcomes. Led by Prof. Puria Parvini, an expert with over 20 years of surgical and academic experience in Implantology, participants will learn how to minimize bone resorption, plan prosthetically driven treatments, and master techniques for preserving soft and hard tissue architecture. The program combines in-depth lectures with practical hands-on training on specially designed models to reinforce clinical skills and decision-making.

  • Expert-led Training: Delivered by Prof. Puria Parvini, a renowned expert in Implantology.
  • Balanced Learning: Includes structured lectures, step-by-step protocols, and live case discussions.
  • Hands-on Practice: Extensive practical sessions using advanced models to practice implant placement and ridge preservation
  • Case Discussions & Q&A: Participants can bring and discuss their own cases, gaining direct expert advice.
  • Comprehensive Content: Covers patient selection, CBCT analysis, surgical and prosthetic protocols, soft tissue management, grafting materials, and digital workflows.

Why choose this course:

  • Expert Instruction: Learn directly from Prof. Puria Parvini, surgeon and academic educator with decades of implantology experience.

Course Content

Principles, techniques, and considerations surrounding immediate implant placement versus ridge preservation procedures. Indications, advantages, disadvantages, limitations and risks of each procedure will be explained.

  • Introduction to immediate implantology and temporisation
  • Patient selection, Assessment and treatment planning, CBCT analysis
  • Decision-making: When to use socket preservation vs immediate implant placement
  • Surgical protocols and techniques, indications and contradictions for immediate implant placement and immediate loading.
  • Extraction protocols: the classification of extraction sites to plan treatment for ridge preservation and immediate implant placement in the anterior region. Minimally invasive extraction techniques to preserve the maximum amount of bone before immediate implant placement.
  • Implant planning and placement into the extraction socket.
  • Step-by step protocols to preserve or minimise bone resorption
  • Temporization: prosthetic planning, temporary fabrication. Selection of appropriate prosthetic components and materials for the temporary and final restoration.
  • Different techniques for immediate temporisation from chair-side to digital pre-planning

  • Socket grafting: Analyse the different graft materials and membranes used for ridge preservation.

  • Soft tissue management with CTGs to improve the result in the aesthetic zone.

II. HANDS-ON

  • Hands-on Implant Placement & Ridge Preservation on specially designed models

 

III. DISCUSSION OF PARTICIPANTS CASES, Q&A SESSION
