Immediate Implant Placement And Loading in the Esthetic Zone: Surgical Protocols and Esthetic Restoration. Seminar + Demonstration Masterclass by Dennis Tarnow and Stephen Chu. "VIP" option

A two-day signature course by Dennis Tarnow and Stephen Chu covering the complete protocol for immediate implant placement and loading in the esthetic zone — from socket management after tooth extraction and 3D implant positioning to emergence profile development and predictable esthetic restoration.

Dennis Tarnow — Clinical Professor of Periodontology, author of more than 250 scientific publications and books, and an internationally recognized speaker who has lectured in more than 45 countries.

Stephen Chu — internationally recognized expert in esthetic and restorative dentistry and implantology, author of 7 textbooks and more than 90 scientific publications.

After completing the course, you will:

— Learn how to assess the extraction socket and predict hard- and soft-tissue changes following tooth extraction
— Be able to select the optimal immediate implant placement strategy based on the anatomy and clinical situation
— Master the principles of 3D implant positioning and understand how implant position affects the emergence profile of the final restoration
— Learn how to select bone grafting materials and determine when connective tissue grafting is necessary
— Understand the Dual-Zone and Socket-Shield protocols, as well as the use of co-axial implants
— Learn to assess risks and complications associated with implant placement in the esthetic zone
— Gain a step-by-step surgical and prosthetic protocol — from tooth extraction and implant placement to soft-tissue management and esthetic restoration.

This is a unique opportunity to learn the complete protocol for immediate implant placement and loading in the esthetic zone from two world-renowned experts: Dennis Tarnow, focusing on surgery and tissue management, and Stephen Chu, focusing on esthetics, provisional restorations, and the prosthetic phase.
