Description

Course Overview

The Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Implant Continuum is the complete implant training program from Implant Educators Academy — now in its 19th year. Six weekends of treatment planning, hands-on labs, expert lectures, and live patient surgery, all guided by a nationally recognized team of instructors at the University of Florida’s Dental Clinic in Seminole, Florida.

This is not a passive learning experience. You will place dental implants on real patients, bring your own cases for one-on-one treatment planning, and work through the full spectrum of implant dentistry — from single tooth replacement to complex full arch All-on-X cases. Upon completion, you will have the clinical experience, credentials, and confidence to incorporate implant treatment into your everyday practice immediately.

Lectures are available in-person or via live stream. Live surgery observation and assistance is required for all in-person participants.


Why This Program?

  • Real Clinical Experience: Participate in and observe 35–40 live patient surgeries across the six weekends — socket grafting, implant placement, soft tissue grafting, tenting, All-on-X, and more.
  • One-on-One Treatment Planning: Bring your own cases for personalized review with instructors, or work with cases provided by the program.
  • Full Spectrum Training: Single tooth, complex cases, All-on-X, full arch conversions, conventional and digital workflows — all covered in depth.
  • CT-Guided Surgical Techniques: Hands-on CT software training included. Attendees should bring a laptop for software sessions.
  • 3D Printed Surgical Guides: In-office 3D printed and lab-fabricated surgical guides with free software provided.
  • AI in Dentistry Workshop (New): How to use AI in treatment planning and case management.
  • ICOI Fellowship Eligibility: This course satisfies the requirements for Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).
  • Catered Lunch: Provided at all in-person sessions.
