Implant Surgical Placement
Objectives:
Develop competency to clinically assess a patient’s suitability for implant therapy. To assess any physical, systemic or medical limitation that could complicate implant surgical placement.
Develop a strong background in implant treatment planning in order to provide the partially edentulous and edentulous patient with the best standard of care. This will include the use of digital technology.
Develop a comprehensive treatment plan. All available treatment options must be presented to the patient prior to initiating therapy. To ensure the patient is fully informed about other treatment options, indications, contra-indications, advantages and disadvantages of using implant therapy.
Develop competency in evaluating and interpreting radiographic imaging of the mandible and the maxilla. Determine pre-surgical anatomical and prosthodontic considerations prior to implant placement.
Develop a competency level to perform implant surgery using aseptic surgical techniques including: socket preservation, raising mucoperiosteal flaps, guided bone regeneration and suture placement
Develop a competency level to use appropriate implant selection, grafting materials, barriers, pharmaceutical agents and pre-operative and post-operative medications following implant surgery.
Develop competency in managing possible surgical complications
Guidelines:
In-depth knowledge of implant placement will be accomplished through formal lectures (staff, resident, visiting consultants), practical hands-on exercises, demonstrations, national meetings, and topic seminars. Textbook and current literature review assignments will supplement the instruction.
Clinical Competency in pre-surgical and post-surgical care will be developed through the practical application of didactic knowledge to a variety of cases.
Knowledge and skill in the use of instruments, equipment, implant systems, implant planning software and guided bone regeneration materials will be developed through clinical patient treatment exercises. Digital technology will be utilized to help diagnosis, plan, and fabricate surgical guides (including bone reduction guides) to better treat their patients. Residents will be expected to use the latest technology on all their patients.
Interaction with other clinical specialties will be accomplished through scheduled joint treatment planning seminars with periodontics, orthodontics and OMFS and day-to-day referrals from the various dental clinics.
