Immediate Implantation in the Anterior and Posterior Zone
Immediate Implantation in the Anterior and Posterior Zone
Course overview
Immediate implant placement is one of the most demanding procedures in modern dentistry, requiring precision, planning, and risk management.
Learn directly from Dr. Mark Bishara, a world-renowned implant expert, and discover how to select ideal cases for immediate implantation, minimize risk, and manage complications—all in one comprehensive course.
Participants will gain the knowledge to:
Understand the principles and biological rationale behind immediate dental implants
Identify cases eligible for immediate implantation and accurately assess risks
Plan and execute procedures with predictable esthetic and functional outcomes
Anticipate and manage complications effectively.
The knowledge and skills, rooted in Dr. Mark Bishara's years of experience, will empower you to become more confident and successful when working with immediate implantation protocols.
