Predictable Guided Bone Regeneration Around Dental Implants
Build the clinical decision-making and surgical technique behind predictable GBR outcomes, with hands-on training on pig jaws inside ADI's Cadaver Lab.
What You'll Learn
Most GBR outcomes are decided before the first incision. This course works through that decision-making, from diagnosis to surgical execution, so the technique becomes predictable, not situational.

Case selection and defect classification for guided bone regeneration
-
CBCT interpretation for treatment planning
-
Graft and membrane selection based on defect type

Had a great time and learning experience at the American Dental Institute. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and professional. It’s a quiet, ideal setting for continuing education courses—highly recommend
I had such a valuable experience at the ADI facility. The Instructors were extremely knowledgeable and approachable, making the learning environment comfortable and engaging. The course combined thorough didactic teaching with hands-on training that really boosted my confidence in performing safely and effectively. The ADI facility was well-equipped and professional, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their scope with continuing education!
I came to ADI for the Soft Tissue Grafting course. The course has been very informative and has provided me with several tools that I can utilize when I return to work on Monday. The entire staff has been very helpful and the food provided during the breaks are solid. I would highly encourage taking any course here.
