What can I expect to gain from completing the Advanced Bone Grafting Course?

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of bone augmentation principles and techniques including direct and indirect sinus lifts, as well as particulate and block guided bone regeneration techniques.

Is live patient surgical experience available?

Yes. Ti-Max offers an optional Live Patient Surgical Day in which eligible participants can perform advanced bone-grafting procedures on live patients under the guidance and supervision of experienced clinicians.

What will I learn during the Live Patient Surgical Day?

The clinical day includes pre surgery mentoring on case selection and treatment planning for the surgical day. On the surgical day participants will carry out an advanced bone grafting procedure of their choice on a patient. Participants may perform either a Block Bone Graft, Particulate Onlay GBR or a Direct Sinus Lift under the guidance and supervision of experienced clinicians. Participants will also have the opportunity to assist on additional surgeries.

Do I have to bring my own patient?

We recommend that participants bring their own patients to our programs. This allows for proper follow up post surgery. Often we learn as much from the healing process and dealing with complications as we do from the procedure itself. If it is not possible for the participant to supply their own patient, we can provide one for an additional fee.

Can I bring a staff member?

Yes. We allow each participating dentist to bring one dental assistant to the surgical day. They will be able to view the procedure and help with sterile room set up and instrument maintenance but they will not be assisting during the surgery. .

The Next Challenge In Implant Dentistry Is Not Placement. It Is Complexity.

You already know implants.
As your experience grows, the challenge changes.
The limiting factor is no longer implant placement —
it is managing the anatomy that determines what treatment is possible.

Develop the Skills to
Manage Complex Implant Cases

Successful implant dentistry requires more than placing implants. It requires the ability to understand anatomy, evaluate limitations, and develop predictable solutions when ideal conditions do not exist.

Advanced Bone Grafting develops the knowledge, clinical judgment, and surgical skills required to diagnose challenging situations, reconstruct deficient sites, and manage more complex cases.
