Date / Time

Programme Highlights
A strong foundation in anatomy and histology is needed to provide effective dental implant surgery. Knowledge of oral structures and ordinary anatomic variations, which usually differ with respect to
size and shape, enhance patient evaluations and facilitate precise surgical procedures. A thorough understanding of anatomy will provide the implant surgeon with the confidence to resect or augment
tissues in an attempt to restore form, function, esthetics, and health.
By end of the course, learners will be able to apply the following knowledge:
- Understand the relevance of gross anatomy of the orofacial region, including pertinent muscles, blood supply, foramina, and nerve innervations that may be encountered during implant procedures.
- Understand the relevance of histology of the histology of oral and nasal mucosa, the periodontium, bone, and nerves, and their interactions with implant or bone augmentation materials.
- Understand the relevance of dental occlusion, oral parafunction, sleep apnea, and cerebral hyperactivity that contribute to bruxism – the effect on abnormal forces on implants, and implant failures.
- Understand the importance of facial spaces and routes of spread of oral infection, the pain pathway leading to neuropathic or post-operative pain, etc. in the management of possible implant complications.
