Objective

New this year: personal mentoring and customized instruction directly from Dr. Karateew. Dr. Karateew will come to your office and facilitate either a two or three day intense program consisting of 1 day of didactic and 1 day of surgical training, or 2 days of didactic and 1 day of surgical training. Practicing partners and your surgical staff are welcome to observe and assist. Surgery can be performed on your existing patients. Neither you nor your patients will have to travel. You also have the ability to choose the dates most suitable to both you and Dr. Karateew. Choose topics from our Introduction to Implant Therapy course, our Advanced Implant Therapy course, or a combination of both.

Introduction to Implant Therapy
Objective: The objective of this course is to facilitate the practitioner who has limited to moderate experience, with the abilities to recognize, treatment plan and execute fundamental
implant options comfortably. The course will also provide a greater scientific understanding of the biology and techniques which govern the success or failure related to implant dentistry.
Topics: Biology, Anatomy and Physiology • Pharmacology • Biomaterial • Biomechanics • Radiographic assessment, Imaging techniques and manipulation • Surgical principles • Principles of Implant Placement • Restorative modalities: Implant assisted and implant supported restorations • Introduction to hard and soft tissue augmentation and periodontal plastic surgery • Practice Management • Ethics • Legal considerations • Case presentation
• Marketing • Infection control • Bench top model surgery • Live surgical demonstrations with closed circuit HD video feed • Hands-on surgery for course participants

Advanced Implant Therapy
Objective: This program is specifically designed for the practitioner who has a moderate level of experience (i.e., placed more than 50 implants or has taken the RDII Course 1 or comparable program). The practitioner must have a desire to increase their knowledge base and clinical experience in order to elevate their implant practice to new levels with the addition of hard and soft tissue augmentation techniques. The focus is on complex case types which involve manipulation of the sinuses and/or lateral bone augmentation. Periodontal plastic procedures
are also discussed in depth.
Topics: Biology, Anatomy and Physiology of the normal and severely atrophied maxilla/ mandible • Pharmacology • Biomaterials • Biomechanics • Radiographic assessment, Volumetric Cone Beam Imaging and utilizing Treatment Planning software • Advanced surgical procedures and complex flap management • Principles of Implant Placement • Direct and Indirect sinus elevation • Lateral bone augmentation • Chin block grafting and Lateral Ramus grafting techniques • Autogenous harvesting • Allograft applications • Connective tissue grafting for esthetics • Immediate implant replacement and non-functional loading • Implant supported restorations • Practice Management • Ethics • Legal considerations • Case presentation • Marketing • Infection control • Bench top model surgery • Live surgical demonstrations with closed circuit HD video feed • Hands-on surgery

Fee: starting at $5500 plus expenses and tax, according to the number of days of instruction
desired and the number of doctors participating. NOTE: Duration and CE credits TBD.
