OHI-S Japanese School of Restorative and Surgical Dentistry

9 lessons (4h 47min)
Join the legends of Japanese dentistry — Akiyoshi Funato, Tsutomu Tanno, and Junji Tagami — as they unlock the Japanese school protocols of restorative and surgical dentistry!
A detailed approach to implantology, periodontology, ortho-perio-implant connections, and direct and indirect restorations awaits you.
During the course, you will learn about:
– Protocols of immediate implantation
– Dr. Akiyoshi Funato’s protocols of the 4D concept in implantology
– Protocols of regenerative therapy around teeth and implants
– Orthodontic Implant Site Development (OISD) approach
– Adhesive protocols for direct and indirect restorations.
The OHI‑S Japanese School of Restorative and Surgical Dentistry program is best for prosthodontists, restorative dentists, oral surgeons, and dental technicians who want structured, training in advanced restorative and surgical protocols inspired by Japanese precision and philosophy. It emphasizes minimally invasive approaches, functional rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Who Should Enroll

Prosthodontists managing complex restorative and full‑mouth rehabilitation cases.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners performing indirect restorations, veneers, crowns, and adhesive dentistry with a focus on aesthetics and function.
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons integrating surgical precision with restorative outcomes.
Dental technicians & lab professionals fabricating restorations that align with Japanese occlusal and aesthetic principles.
Residents & fellows in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, or oral surgery seeking structured international training.

What You’ll Learn

Japanese restorative philosophy: precision, minimally invasive preparation, and functional occlusion.
Surgical integration: protocols for implant placement, soft tissue management, and surgical support for restorations.
Indirect restorations: veneers, crowns, onlays, and adhesive workflows.
Functional rehabilitation: occlusal stability and long‑term durability.
Interdisciplinary collaboration: dentist–technician teamwork for predictable outcomes.
Case‑based lessons: clinical examples demonstrating Japanese approaches to restorative and surgical dentistry.
