Course Description
This comprehensive, 4-day live patient dental implant course is conducted in partnership with our esteemed partner International Universities in the host country, providing a rigorous academic and clinical hands-on training experience within a university setting, ensuring exposure to the highest standards of evidence-based implantology.
Under the direct supervision and guidance of distinguished faculty comprising oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and implant specialists with over three decades of experience, participants will gain a complete mastery of dental implant surgery, covering everything from foundational skills to advanced techniques.
Participants will learn how to utilize CBCT imaging for precise implant planning and predictability, perform both basic and advanced dental implant surgeries, as well as bone grafting techniques, including the use of PRF/iPRF (Platelet- Rich Fibrin) to create “sticky bone” for optimal graft integration. By the end of the course, participants will be fully equipped to offer dental implant surgeries to their patients with precision, predictability, and success.
For more details about this course, please view the following Program Overview.
Course Objectives
- Provide diagnosis, prognosis, and properly sequenced comprehensive treatment plans.
- Perform comprehensive examinations, collect clinical data, and document the patient’s dental and medical condition.
- Apply the recommended guidelines for a safe and appropriate dental implant placement.
- Perform basic, intermediate, and advanced surgical implant placements with maximum confidence and competency.
What to Expect During the Course
You will encounter various kinds of dental implant cases and surgical procedures. All patients are preselected, screened, and evaluated in advance for each course participant. Our Dental Implant Live Patient Program is designed to help you master the essential foundations of Dental implant surgery, from incision and flap design to implant placement and suturing. With full hands-on training, you will be guided by our expert faculty through each critical step, ensuring you develop a comprehensive understanding of the skills required for successful implant restorations. Personalized instruction and ongoing evaluations by our expert instructors will ensure that you receive focused guidance on the areas where you need the most improvement.
The number and type of procedures you perform will depend on your skill level, surgical experience, the time required to successfully complete each procedure and your performance, as continually evaluated by the course instructors, during the course. Our expert faculty will continuously assess your performance, tailoring the learning experience to maximize your progress and build your confidence in performing dental implant surgeries effectively.
Every morning, on the days of live patient surgery, we have a short lecture and a meeting with all the doctors to review the treatment plan and medical history for the patients that you will be treating that day. In that moment, with the X-Rays in hand, we evaluate the cases and discuss the best treatment plan and approach for each patient.

ITC Seminars Courses Vs. Other CE Providers
ITC Seminars
|
Other CE Providers | |
|---|---|---|
ADA Accreditation
|
ITC Seminars is the only dental implant CE provider worldwide with University Partnerships that is accredited by the ADA. ADA accreditation, the highest and most rigorous standard in continuing education, is the only accreditation recognized globally, guaranteeing the highest caliber of education. |
Open to commercial bias. No adherence to ADA standards ensuring academic rigor and integrity. Risk of low-quality education and training. No oversight or regulation, leaving participants vulnerable to legal and ethical violations. Lack of guaranteed patient safety and follow-up protocols. |
| Dental University Backed Program |
All courses are exclusively led in partnership with prestigious dental universities globally. Receive your research-based, hands-on training in world-class institutions, led by implant experts and university professors. Universities boast diverse patient databases, providing unparalleled live patient opportunities. |
No oversight or standards governing education quality, exposing participants to inadequate training, unregulated surgical practices, and lack of adherence to established safety protocols, resulting in poorly executed procedures, heightened patient complications, and a lack of accountability for adverse outcomes. |
| Dental University Setting |
All courses take place in international dental universities that include cutting-edge dental facilities with modern technology, highly qualifies dental staff, expert instructors, and access to medical and emergency services for participant and patient safety. |
Courses conducted in unauthorized spaces lack permits and proper resources, increasing risks of patient complications, legal liabilities, and inadequate training. Without oversight or adherence to university-level standards, these settings jeopardize safety, education quality, and liability of participants. |
| Temporary Dental License |
Provides participants with a temporary dental license issued by the university and government health authorities, ensuring legal compliance for treating patients. |
Do not provide temporary licenses, leaving procedures illegal and exposing participants to legal and malpractice risks. Only universities can issue temporary dental licenses for international courses, ensuring compliance with regulations. |
| Tailored Hands-On Training |
Admits only the most qualified applicants through a rigorous selection process. Matches participants with preselected cases that efficiently enhance surgical skills. Personalized training tailored to each doctor's goals, ensuring their skills are developed to the highest standard. |
No admission process. Participants receive identical cases, resulting in generic, unsatisfactory learning experiences. Advanced participants are unchallenged, beginners overwhelmed, and patient safety compromised. |
| Preselection of Patients |
In partnership with the University, we utilize their diverse patient database to expose participants to a wide range of surgical cases, mastering all aspects of implant surgery. Our rigorous prescreening and preselection process ensures participants are matched with cases that align with their goals. |
No preselection of patients resulting in a higher risk of complications during surgery. Patients may not be matched with the appropriate course participant based on their medical history, surgical needs, or experience level of the doctor, compromising the quality of education and patient safety. |
| 100% Patients Restored |
Through our university partnership, we are required to submit annual reports to the government and Ministry of Health, confirming all patients are fully restored after surgery. The university's prosthodontics departments ensure successful restorations, and participants receive images of completed cases post-course. |
No guarantee of patient restoration. Patients are neglected and left with untreated implants for years after surgery, without follow-up care or restoration. |
| Focused on Quality |
We prioritize quality in every aspect, reflected in our university partnerships, ADA accreditation, and strict adherence to legal standards protecting participants' liability. Our commitment ensures personalized, hands-on learning through small course sizes, careful patient selection, and world-class faculty. |
Focus on quantity over quality, oversaturating courses with too many participants and implant placements. This compromises patient outcomes, the learning experience, and local doctors' ability to fully restore all patients. |
| Exclusive Group Size |
Limited enrollment to 4-6 doctors per course, ensuring personalized guidance and a 1:1 instructor-to-participant ratio. Small group sizes allow doctors to work independently, without competing for resources or sharing patients, and gives them full control over their pace during surgeries for a tailored learning experience. |
Enroll 20-30+ participants per course, leading to overcrowded sessions with inadequate supervision. This limits hands-on experience, as doctors must share resources and time, diluting the focus on individual learning and potentially compromising patient outcomes. |

My goal was to gain confidence and proficiency in placing dental implants… Mission Accomplished! I’m ready to ROCK! Thank you ITC.
Coming to this course I had little expectations about learning surgery, but leaving it I feel very confident that I can place any implant. Thanks to 2 bright surgeons (Dr. Casabianca and Dr. Mauro) everything was possible. I will be back for more.
