Periodontist by Day, Implant Surgeon by Night
Download Course in PDF format

Course Description

The introduction and the wider usage of dental implants lead to a paradigm shift in treatment planning. Heroic periodontal treatments and the use of dental implants with abandon are two extremes that seem to collide like two tectonic plates leading to chaos. Can they coexist? At the end of my presentation the participants should be able to reconcile seemingly colliding treatment-planning principles and apply in everyday patients care.
