Advances in all areas of Implant Dentistry are occurring at an unprecedented pace. Many current weekend Implant courses cover the “how – to – do” quite well, but neglect the “why’s”. With the current climate it is important that all practitioners, especially those starting out in Implant Dentistry, become knowledgeable in all areas of Implantology. This course is a must for all general dentists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and oral surgeons who want to achieve proficiency in the broad field of Implant Dentistry.

Topics will include: Anatomy, Radiology, Diagnosis and Treatment planning, Pharmacology, Implant Surgery and implant Prosthodontics.

Lectures will be held in Exhibition Hall – B1 at Beirut Arab University (Engineering Building), and training sections will be held in the Laboratories and clinical facilities of the Faculty of Dentistry..

Course Objectives :

• To provide a thoroughly comprehensive presentation that includes the basic sciences as they relate to Implant Dentistry as well as specific aspects of Implant Industry.
• To provide a positive influence in the quality and direction of Implant Dentistry by providing an intensive overview of the state of the art.
• To develop a quality approach to diagnosis and treatment planning for various types of edentulous situations.
