OHI-S Implant placement in the aesthetic zone steps and techniques

6 lessons + 1 free (9h 45min)

A course in which you will master actual techniques of implant treatment of defects in the aesthetic zone.

You will have a detailed study of clinical stages of the implant placement in the aesthetic zone:

– CBCT diagnostics and design of surgical guides

– sockets preservation techniques

– immediate and delayed implant placement protocols for single and multiple tooth loss

– bone and soft tissue augmentation in the aesthetic area

– choice of prosthetic constructions.

After completing the course, you will be able to carry out the rehabilitation of patients with defects in the aesthetic zone in any clinical cases.

The OHI‑S Implant Placement in the Aesthetic Zone: Steps and Techniques course is best for oral surgeons, implantologists, prosthodontists, and general dentists who want structured, CE‑accredited training in evidence‑based protocols for placing implants in highly visible areas of the mouth where aesthetics are critical.

Who Should Enroll
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons performing implant surgeries in the anterior maxilla and other aesthetic zones.
Implantologists seeking mastery of advanced surgical and restorative protocols for predictable aesthetic outcomes.
Prosthodontists & restorative dentists integrating implant placement with smile design and functional rehabilitation.
General dentists expanding their scope into implantology, especially in anterior aesthetic cases.
Residents, fellows, and trainees in oral surgery, prosthodontics, or implantology needing structured advanced training.
What You’ll Learn
Diagnosis & treatment planning: CBCT imaging, soft tissue evaluation, and smile line analysis.
Surgical protocols: minimally invasive techniques, flap design, immediate vs. delayed placement.
Bone & soft tissue management: grafting, PRF, and contouring for optimal gingival aesthetics.
Restorative integration: provisionalization, abutment selection, and digital workflows for natural emergence profiles.
Case‑based lessons: real patient examples demonstrating predictable functional and aesthetic success.
