Description
Master Course: Advanced Tissue Reconstruction & Immediate Implant Surgery
Dr. David Chong & Dr. Kwon Kim
Toronto, Ontario
2 Modules | 5 Days | up to 35 CE
Starts Feb 2025
Module 1
Advanced Tissue Reconstruction and Sinus Augmentation for Implant Dentistry
*This module is intended for clinicians who are confident performing indirect sinus lifts and non complexsingle to multiple implant cases.
Day 1 | Feb 13, 2026 | Dr. David Chong
Direct Sinus Lifts for Vertical Ridge Augmentation
Up to 1 in 5 implant patients need a sinus lift due to posterior maxillary bone loss. The lateral approach provides stable vertical bone volume for predictable implant integration. Led by Dr. David Chong, this course reviews key principles and offers hands-on training.
Highlights
• Indications & contraindications
• Anatomical/radiographic assessment
• Step-by-step protocols & membrane elevation
• Grafting materials & complication management
• Hands-on model training: access, elevation, grafting, placement
Day 2 | Feb 14, 2026 | Dr. David Chong
Advanced Soft Tissue for Implant Dentistry Techniques to Enhance Function, Esthetics & Long-Term Prognosis
This intensive one-day advanced-level course is designed for experienced implant clinicians seeking to elevate their skills in peri-implant soft tissue management, with a strong focus on esthetic optimization, complication management, and long-term stability of implantsupported restorations. The course integrates evidence-based techniques with practical surgical approaches, preparing participants to handle complex soft tissue scenarios in both
anterior and posterior zones.
The program includes didactic lectures, clinical case reviews, and a guided hands-on session on models and pig jaws to simulate soft tissue procedures.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Diagnose and plan soft tissue augmentation procedures based on esthetic and functional demands.
• Select and apply appropriate grafting materials and techniques for various clinical scenarios.
• Perform advanced soft tissue procedures such as connective tissue graft, and free gingival graft with an apical reposition flap.
• Manage peri-implant mucosal dehiscence and complications surgically. Integrate soft tissue enhancement with immediate implant placement strategies.
*Target Audience / Prerequisites
This course is intended for licensed dentists who:
• Have completed intermediate-level implant training, including flap design and basic soft tissue grafting.
• Are currently placing implants or restoring implant cases.
• Understand basic concepts of peri-implant tissue biology and healing.
• Not suitable for beginners or clinicians without surgical experience.
Day 3 | Feb 15, 2026 | Dr. David Chong
Hands-On Mastery in GBR: A One-Day Intensive Course
Experience an intensive Hands on based one-day course meticulously crafted for dental professionals aiming to attain immediate proficiency in Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR). This hands-on program seamlessly integrates concise theoretical insights with focused practical sessions, enabling participants to master GBR techniques, refine surgical skills, and instill the confidence to promptly apply learned strategies in clinical practice.
This course will conduct a thorough comparative analysis of submerged GBR and nonsubmerged GBR techniques. Through this comparative exploration, the objective is to furnish doctors with a nuanced understanding of the diverse approaches and their implications in various clinical scenarios. Additionally, the course will introduce innovative techniques such as the Sausage and L-Shape Techniques, providing participants with a
comprehensive toolkit to address a myriad of clinical challenges within the realm of GBR.
Highlights
• Indications & biological principles
• Flap design & surgical protocols
• Submerged vs. non-submerged techniques
• Managing socket & ridge deficiencies
• Comparing grafting materials & membranes
• Hands-on GBR with pig jaws
Target Audience / Prerequisites
This course is intended for licensed dentists who:
• Have completed intermediate-level implant training, including flap design and basic soft tissue management.
• Are currently placing implants or restoring implant cases.
• Understand basic concepts of GBR and material selection
• Not suitable for beginners or clinicians without surgical experience.
