Dr. Brugler's Continuing Education
Post Graduate Continuing Education:
Carl Misch Implant Surgical Program:
The Misch surgical program is comprised of 5 three day classes covering every topic
related to implants, treatment planning, fundamental science, implant surgery, soft
and hard tissue rehabilitation, and maintenance. In addition to lecture there are labs
on suturing, implant placement, ramus bone harvesting, sinus lift and graft
placement, venupuncture, medical emergency equipment.
S1: Patient Evaluation & Treatment Planning
The first session's major objective is treatment planning for the partially endentulous patient. Prosthetic options, patient force factors, bone density, implant positions, number of implant abutments, ideal implant size for each tooth location, and bone volume related treatment options are presented in detail. CT and radiographic interpretation workshops and hands-on suturing techniques and implant insertion in the treatment models are also provided. The surgical procedure and prosthesis type presented in the first session is the replacement of a mandibular single posterior missing tooth.
S2: Root Form Surgery for Division A Bone
The second session of the Misch International Implant Institute advances the clinician's skill level and knowledge of root forms. The focus of this session will include surgery, uncovery and short and long term complications for root forms. The second surgical session addresses partial and completely endentulous mandibular overdentures and fixed prostheses for multiple adjacent missing teeth in the posterior mandible. Altered surgical approaches, dependent upon bone density are presented in detail. The bone volume classification covered at this session is Misch-Judy Division A and B. Hands-on labs will give clinicians the chance to apply learned techniques in a controlled environment.
S3: Membrane Bone Grafting for Division B Bone
The third session of the MIII is primarily concerned with two imlant issues: Maxillary anterior single tooth implants and barrier membrane particulate bone grafts. The volume of bone and related procedures covered in the session is for Division B bone augmentation using a "layered approach" as developed by Dr. Misch. Atraumatic extractions and socket grafting are also presented. Indications for extractions and immediate implant insertions, esthetic complications of implant position and angulation are also covered in detail.
S4: Sinus Grafts
The fourth session is dedicated to treatment of the posterior maxilla. Sinus lifts and sinus grafting are presented in detail. The unique aspects of the program include maxillary sinus pathology and pharmacology. Complications of this region are also covered in detail. The hands-on laboratory sessions are performed on unique models developed specifically for the MIII for both sinus lifts and grafts.
S5: Immediate Load & Division C Mandibular Bone
The fifth session presents concepts for step-by-step procedures for immediate loading, immediate restorations and progressive bone loading. Four treatment categories are presented: Single tooth implants, multiple adjacent missing teeth, full arch fixed prosthesis and complete overdenture prostheses. Indications, contraindications and unique complications are presented for each of the four immediate load/restoration procedures. In addition, the C-h moderate bone volume will be addressed related to unique surgical procedures and treatment planning.
