Beyond the Bone: Shaping Implant Sucess with Soft Tissues & Digital Planning
In association with the University of Melbourne, Melbourne Dental School
Course information
This four-day ITI Education Week, held at the Melbourne Dental School (University of Melbourne), is designed for clinicians with experience in implant dentistry at an advanced level who wish to expand their focus beyond osseointegration alone and master the critical role of peri-implant soft tissues in shaping long-term success. Under the theme “Beyond the Bone: Shaping Implant Success with Soft Tissues & Digital Planning”, the program blends biological principles with state-of-the-art digital workflows to provide participants with a comprehensive and contemporary perspective on implant therapy.
