Participants will be expected to provide a patient to complete an arch of immediate load surgery under supervision.
Fees for Advanced Surgical 1 upon registering. Please contact BII directly at (02) 9922 4455.

This program covers the surgical aspects of the All-on-4 treatment. Imaging, armamentarium, and clinical techniques needed for this treatment modality are presented. This program builds on the Prosthetic 2 course, taking into account the surgical keys for implant placement with differing bone densities, treatment the aesthetic and phonetic requirements, space requirements, laboratory communication, insertion techniques post-operative follow-up and hygiene requirements are key to this treatment. Live surgical demonstration, surgical laboratories and workshops are also included.
