Complications in implant dentistry are inevitable – being prepared is what defines clinical success.
This intensive 2-day course with Prof. Puria Parvini provides a comprehensive, case-based approach to understanding, preventing, and managing complications in implant dentistry. Through real clinical scenarios, you will develop structured decision-making skills and learn practical protocols that can be immediately applied in daily practice.
From surgical challenges such as nerve injuries, incorrect implant positioning, bleeding, and graft instability, to restorative and postoperative complications, this course equips you with the knowledge and confidence to manage both routine and complex cases effectively.
Designed for clinicians at all levels, the programme combines evidence-based principles with hands-on training to help you minimise risks, improve outcomes, and take full control of complications when they arise.

Learning Objectives
-
Identify and manage common intraoperative complications during implant placement, including flap design errors, implant angulation mistakes, nerve injury, and excessive bleeding.
-
Recognize and manage bone grafting complications such as membrane perforation, graft instability, donor site morbidity, and inadequate fixation.
-
Develop predictable treatment plans using proper diagnostics and defect analysis to select appropriate techniques such as GBR, bone splitting, and block grafting.
-
Recognize and treat postoperative complications including pain, tissue emphysema, cover screw exposure, graft exposure, infection, and soft tissue dehiscence.
-
Strengthen clinical problem-solving skills through case-based discussions and structured management approaches.
-
Prevent surgical risks such as bone overheating, implant fracture, cortical plate fracture, graft failure, and soft tissue trauma.
-
Improve implant stability, optimize graft integration, reduce recovery time, and enhance long-term clinical outcomes in implant dentistry and bone augmentation procedures.
