CADAVER LAB – BASIC IMPLANTOLOGY

Course detail

6 November 2026

Description

BASIC IMPLANTOLOGY AND CADAVER DISSECTION
Applied Anatomical Dissection.

This theoretical and practical course introduces participants to the fundamental techniques of modern endosseous implantology. Through guided dissection of fresh anatomical specimens, participants will analyze anatomical landmarks and structures at risk. Participants will learn proper soft tissue management, flap design, and periosteal detachment.
The practical phase involves the sequential preparation of osteotomy sites and guided implant placement. Advanced suturing techniques will be explored in depth to ensure optimal stability and closure of the flaps.
