Further details about this event

Pterygoid, Transnasal and Palatal approach. Both Full Arch and Segmental rehabilitation

Who should attend this training? This course is ideal for dental professionals dental implantologists and Mentors seeking to expand their knowledge of advanced dental implant treatment options and improve patient outcomes. 

Train with the best: Join world-renowned Pterygoid Implantology leader, Dr. Henri Diederich, for a rare, two-day cadaver course. Gain intensive hands-on experience in advanced, minimally invasive, bone-driven techniques designed for your most complex clinical cases.

Aims & Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to equip practitioners with the advanced skills for Minimally Invasive Treatment Options in the Atrophied Maxilla—specifically, the Bone Truss Bridge (BTB) protocol, which eliminates the need for Sinus Lifts or Zygoma implants.

Upon Completion, You Will Be Able To:

Master the Anatomy: Gain a deep and actionable understanding of the Pterygoid and nasal regions crucial for implant success.

Understand BTB Principles: Comprehend the application of compressive implants within the Bone Truss Bridge (BTB) concept.

Perform Cadaver Surgery: Execute the placement of Pterygoid and Trans-Nasal Implants on fresh cadavers, solidifying your command of the BTB protocols.

Manage Prosthetics: Understand the complete impression and lab workflow for BTB, utilizing both analog and digital techniques.

Event Content

Day 1: Foundational Principles & Review
Surgical Anatomy: Detailed review of the Pterygoid region and Nasal cavity and the precise technique for Pterygoid Implant placement.

Case Planning: Review of CBCT scan interpretation and its essential role in planning advanced implant cases.

Traditional vs. BTB: A critical review of Sinus Lift indications and outcomes versus the Bone Truss Bridge (BTB) approach—the no-sinus-lift, no-bone-grafting, no-zygoma solution for atrophied maxilla.

Loading Protocols: Strategies for unilateral and bilateral rehabilitations (maxilla and mandible), covering both Immediate and Delayed Loading for overdentures and fixed bridges.

Day 2: Cadaver Hands-On Training
Live Demonstration: Model demonstration of the BTB concept using implants.

Cadaver Surgery: Hands-on placement of Pterygoid and Trans-Nasal Implants following the BTB protocols on fresh cadavers.

Anatomy Deep Dive: Surgical exploration of critical structures, including the Maxillary Artery and the potential application of the Bichat's Fat Pad for sealing buccal sinus communications.

Lab Integration: Comprehensive consideration and review of the BTB laboratory bridge design.

Benefits

Key Benefits of the BTB Approach
The Bone Truss Bridge (BTB) technique provides a revolutionary solution for compromised bone, offering significant advantages over traditional methods:

Superior Stability: Achieved by leveraging strategic placement of Pterygoid and Trans-nasal implants into dense anatomical structures.

No Grafting Needed: By utilizing existing anatomy (Pterygoid plates and nasal floor), the BTB approach eliminates or significantly reduces the need for bone grafting procedures.

Streamlined Efficiency: Optimized design and efficient placement protocols reduce surgical time and promote quicker patient recovery.

Solution for Complex Cases: BTB offers a reliable and predictable solution for patients with severe bone loss or challenging conditions where traditional techniques are not feasible.

Resulting Qualification

Certificate for BONE TRUSS BRIDGE TREATMENT IN COMPROMISED BONE
