The School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook University is one of the leading dental schools in North America with a strong background in basic science, research and clinical dentistry. The School is committed to establishing a world recognized research, educational and patient treatment center for excellence in Implant Dentistry, Prosthodontics, Digital Technology and Periodontology.
The Office of Continuing Education is hosting a program in which we invite scholars from the world to come and learn in a specific three day intensive program where we will discuss the diagnostic, surgical and prosthodontic keys to success in implant dentistry, supported by evidence-based criteria. The International Advancement Program in Implant Prosthodontics at the School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook University is designed for general dentists with some training in oral surgery, periodontology, prosthodontics or implant dentistry who are interested in incorporating the most advanced knowledge, technology and procedures into their daily practice. While attendees do not treat patients in the clinic, they will participate in sessions for treatment planning and sequencing clinical work, observation and discussion of recorded surgeries, prosthodontic procedures, and workshops on surgical guides and soft and hard tissue grafting procedures. Knowledge and management of specific devices and tools used in implant dentistry will improve the quality and predictability of the treatment.
Lectures are held at the Stony Brook University Charles B. Wang Center. Hands-on workshops are supported by and held in the Gabor Inke Anatomy Laboratory at the Stony Brook University Medical Center.
For additional details on the International Advancement Program in Implant Prosthodontics please view our information packet.
The following are abstracts for each of the modules for the International Program in Implant Dentistry and the next dates they are being offered:
Session One - Basics and Beyond (3 days)
During the first session of this comprehensive implant training program the following topics are covered: Anatomy, bone physiology, biology of osseointegration, patient evaluation for implant treatment, risk factors, vertical & horizontal spaces of occlusion, bone density, step-by-step implant surgical placement protocols including immediate implant placement and osteotomy techniques, restorative procedures including advanced treatment concepts. Hands-on workshops are performed by the class utilizing the CBCT data for anatomy and diagnostics and is followed by virtual implant planning.
Session Two – Intermediate Implant Techniques (3 days)
Intermediate surgical and prosthetic protocols including immediate implant placement and immediate load techniques for single and full arch cases including indications and contraindications, computer guided implant placement and implant complications will be discussed. Implant prosthodontics using CAD/CAM design will highlight the prosthetic portion of this session. Hands-on human cadaver workshops are performed by the class utilizing the guided surgery software and guided/non-guided implant placement.
Session Three - Advanced Surgical Implant Techniques (3 days)
Advanced implant surgical techniques covered in this session include: Advanced flap design, suturing, alveolar ridge expansion using split cortical technique, guided bone regeneration and bone grafting before, during and after implant placement. This session will include lectures on pharmacology in oral implantology. Hands-on human cadaver workshops: Suturing and bone grafting workshop using regenerative materials are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty.
Session Four - Advanced Prosthetic Implant Techniques (3 days)
During this session the lectures focus on advanced implant prosthodontics as well as a discussion on the lab aspect of implant prosthodontics including full-arch restorations, anterior esthetics, immediate loading, All-on-4 procedure and implant bars and frameworks. This comprehensive restorative implant training program covers all major digital technologies related to implant dentistry including optical scanning (intraoral and laboratory based scanning), CAD design, CAM manufacturing, advanced chairside CAD/CAM restorations, laboratory CAD/CAM and optimized digital workflow for implant dentistry. Hands-on human cadaver workshops: Performing the All-on-4 treatment including implant placement and prosthetic restoration. Digital workshop including proper scanning technique and CAD design of partial and full coverage restorations.
Specialty Session - Advanced Bone Grafting (3 days)
This session will focus on sinus augmentation through the lateral window, nasal floor elevation, block-grafting procedures, risk management in the implant practice, alveolar ridge expansion using split cortical technique, guided bone regeneration and bone grafting before, during and after implant placement.
Hands-on human cadaver workshops: Advanced bone grafting procedures using regenerative materials are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty
Specialty Session – Digital Restorative Dentistry (3 days)
This session is designed for dental professionals who want to learn state of the art digital dentistry solutions for the treatment of restorative patients. Attendees will be provided with the latest information on digital treatment technologies ranging from individual tooth restoration to complex implant reconstruction and rehabilitation. The optical scanning includes specific knowledge of proper preparation designs along with hands-on verification of proper scanning techniques. The CAD design covers tooth anatomy, design skills, occlusion and customized abutments including hands-on practice designing of tooth and implant supported partial and full coverage restorations. The CAM portion covers manufacturing strategies including hands-on chairside milling followed by proper characterization, firing, and polishing of various restorations.
