Continuous education, everyday growth and implementation of new ideas and techniques in dental medicine, are of the utmost importance for successful treatment of all conditions affecting the stomatognathic system. In the spirit of these postulates, but also in the spirit of knowledge transfer as top ideal, the Implantologia Basica school was established in 2016. Led by Spec. Dr. Danco Bizevski and his team, Implantologia Basica has a responsible, difficult, but also noble mission: Education for doctors of dental medicine, specialists in oral surgery, prostheticians and periodontics doctors, in the field of setting up dental implants. During these years, 6 successful courses have been organized, with a special and regularly updated program, passed by more than 1000 students, graduated dental medicine doctors, specialists and interns in all stomatology areas. The complexity of oral implantology is completely and thoroughly analyzed with emphasis on anatomy, planning process, oral surgery and prosthetics principles, so this school is a unique opportunity for candidates to fully learn and practice all phases of implantology therapy, on phantom, animal models and live.

DAY 4

Monitoring live surgery

The crown of the Implantologia Basica course, is the live video of a surgery through special real-time video connection. The course participants will have the exquisite opportunity to witness the performance of all aforementioned procedures in the operation hall. Nova Dental Surgery’s operation hall and our team open the doors of our institution in the name of science. In this context, the following complicated oral surgery procedures will be performed, followed by a forum discussion about them:

• Implantation in maxilla with a closed sinus lift method.
• Implantation in maxilla with an open sinus lift method.
• Implantation in mandibula.
• Immediate implantation.
• Implantation of gingiva formers.
• Sealing and performing definite prosthetic constructions (Open and close spoon technique) on a real patient.
