Course Description 

Implant experts and internationally recognized speakers will share their knowledge and expertise in areas including:

• New techniques for implant bed preparation;
• Surgical approaches for successful implant restorations;
• Soft and hard tissue management for clinical success;
• CBCT for dental implant planning;
• CAD/CAM technology opening new restorative treatment techniques;
• New loading protocol for implant retained mandibular overdenture; and
• Highlighting medical conditions and risks associated with dental implants.

NOTE: The University of Kentucky College of Dentistry cautions continuing dental education participants that there are potential risks of using limited knowledge when incorporating new techniques and procedures into the practice of dentistry, especially when the continuing education course has not provided supervised clinical experience and/or competency tests in the techniques or procedures. 

Course Objectives

• How to identify appropriate cases and treatment planning with collaboration between disciplines to provide the best quality of implant therapy and avoid complications.  
• Important up-to-date concepts in the management of dental implants utilizing current and modern technology.

Featured Speakers:

Dr. Leo Malin received his D.D.S. degree from Marquette University in 1991. He maintains a private practice in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Dr. Malin’s dental practice is exclusively limited to the surgical and restorative phases of Implant Dentistry.  Dr Malin is also the Director of the Implantology and Bone Grafting Courses at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI). He is the instructor of a variety of courses each year, ranging from implant basics to advanced surgical and restorative protocols. Doctors across North America and abroad attend these courses. Dr. Malin is also the director of the implant surgical program at the Dominican Training Institute in the Dominican Republic. Early in his career, Dr. Malin discovered that the implant placement techniques typically used would not deliver a standard, predictable result. Because of this Dr. Malin, along with other experts in the fields of radiology and occlusion, has developed an occlusion based implant placement technique. This technique integrates the latest technologies to guarantee implant case control. This technique has also led to four United States patents and provided exceptional clinical implant surgical and restorative results. Dr. Malin additionally lectures at venues across North America on full mouth reconstructions and implant placements.  He has received a variety of awards from his contributions in implant and neuromuscular dentistry.
