Course Highlights

Note: Many doctors have suggested this as a "must take" course for placing implants.

The ability to prevent and fix these complications is MORE IMPORTANT than being able to place implants in the first place.


Implant Complication Managment - 13 common complications and how to prevent or repair them.

  • What to do if the implant is crooked.
  • What to do if the implant is loose.
  • What to do if the implant has exposed threads.
  • What to do if the implant is too close to another implant.
  • What to do if the implant is too close to a nerve.
  • What to do if the implant has perforated the lingual plate.
  • What to do if the implant has dropped into the sinus cavity.
  • What to do if the implant has dropped into the nasal cavity.
  • What to do if the oral sinus is opened
  • What to do if sinus membrane is perforated.
  • What to do if the sinus becomes infected.
  • What to do if another doctor has announced the case is hopeless.
  • What to do if the implant is fully integrated, but the patient is still in pain.

Many courses will talk about prevention of some of these problems, but no other course in the world focuses on how to repair them. Dr. Chen has the experience to teach you how to take a complication and make it a great success.


ICM Part I

  • Learn how to recognize the cause and solutions to correct fixture problems.

ICM Part II

  • Learn how to correct damage to vital anatomical structures Oral-Antral Communication, Sinusitis, Nerve Damage, Bony-Dehiscence and Fenestration.
  • Learn how to correct the problem by removing the implant or saving the implant.
  • Learn from complications to become a better implantologist.

Course Objectives

After completing this course the clinician should be able to treat and manage various types of implant failures due to surgical, prosthetic, and peri-implantitis. The clinician should be able to recognize potential pitfalls of a particular case at the treatment planning stage to avoid potential complication. When complications arise, he or she will be able to determine the best solution to solve that problem either by repair with bone grafting, and/or by implant removal and re-implantation. This course also gives the clinician the ability to manage soft tissue around the implant to correct implant esthetic failures.

Who Should Attend?

  • Doctors who want to know how to reverse complications that have arisen in some of their own cases.
  • Doctors who want to turn a failing case into a positive outcome.

Testimonial

"I first read about Dr. Chen's Technique for correction of oral-antral communication on the internet. Also featured was a picture taken during the procedure. I had doubts about the claims made on his website. Oral-antral communication is a difficult lesion to correct that often arises after traumatic dental extractions. This causes constant infection of the sinus area, but generally there was little that could be done. I never thought to attend a course given by a dentist before, but having attended this course it was truly a learning experience. The procedure was pioneered by Dr. Chen and I was truly amazed. It is easy to produce good and healthy results. I would strongly recommend this course to all dentists and otolaryngologists"
