MIT Complete: Implant Surgery and Prosthetics

MIT Complete: Implant Surgery and Prosthetics Description

This dental continuing education program is for general dentists who want to incorporate implant dentistry into their practice.

The program includes an online and on-demand component to cover the didactic content. Watch the recorded lessons Anytime and Anywhere. The program starts every day!

The MIT complete is composed of three learning modalities:

1. Online and on-demand learning of the didactic material. Participants can learn at their own pace and review the material multiple times. Successful completion of an exam (score 90% or better) is required to advance between lessons. Flap design, suturing, and safe implant surgery practices are reviewed. On the prosthetic side, concepts related to prosthetically driven implant placement and treatment planning are reviewed, as well as the various restorative phases of single-tooth implant restoration.

2. In-person workshop, where participants learn to place implants in plastic models as well as fabricate a temporary implant restoration and convert complete lower dentures to implant retained overdentures

3. Online treatment case reviews every 2 weeks are provided to the participants to help them plan their own cases. These "Power Hours" are an integral part of the 12-month MIT program. We mentor our clinicians in this intimate setting so they are confident to implement what they learn into their practices.
