Why Choose this course?
Build the skills and confidence to prevent, recognise, and manage implant complications for predictable implant outcomes.
Prevent & Manage Implant Complications
Learn evidence-based protocols to avoid implant & bone graft complications and handle them predictably when they occur.
Hands-On, Case-Based Learning
Combine expert-led lectures, real clinical case discussions, and practical exercises to build confidence.
Confidence at Every Stage
Managing complications from treatment planning and surgery through to post-operative care.
Suitable for All Experience Levels
Whether you’re new to implant dentistry or experienced, develop the skills needed for better patient outcomes.
Master complication management at every stage of implant therapy
Complications are an inevitable part of implant dentistry – but knowing how to prevent and manage them is what defines clinical success.
Join Prof. Puria Parvini for an intensive 2-day, hands-on course combining evidence-based lectures, real clinical cases, and practical training. Learn how to prevent and manage surgical implant complications at every stage of treatment, from planning and surgery to post-operative care.
Covering topics including bleeding, nerve injury, implant positioning, grafting, soft tissue management, and clinical decision-making, you’ll leave with practical protocols and the confidence to manage both routine and complex implant cases.
Whether you’re new to implant dentistry or an experienced clinician, this course will help you achieve safer, more predictable outcomes.
