offers a broad overview of the methods and techniques involved in case planning and placing zirconia implants. The first part is a lecture about ceramic implants’ special properties, different surgical techniques between zirconia and titanium, case planning and avoiding failures. The instructor will also use verified case studies to highlight the advantages of placing zirconia dental implants immediately after extraction. Temporization and final restorations will also be discussed.
The second part of the course will be hands-on, offering participants the opportunity to place zirconia implants in models under guided instruction. In addition, the course will include a Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Phlebotomy Training Component, led by Dr. Hart’s assistant—a licensed phlebotomist with years of experience. Participants will receive instruction and demonstration on phlebotomy techniques, blood collection, and PRF preparation, integrated within the biological surgical protocol. The session will end with Q&A, and a discussion about marketing zirconia implants in their practice.
