The instructor will also use verified case studies to highlight the advantages of placing zirconia dental implants. Temporization and final restorations will also be discussed. The trainer will perform a live surgery and shadowing opportunity for all participants.
The second part will be “Hands-On” where participants will be given the opportunity to place zirconia implants in models. The instructor will lead the hands-on part with a demonstration of the techniques involved. This will be followed by personalized instruction during which the attendees place zirconia implants and the trainer will offer guidance.
