Learn to predictably treat your patients using dental implants. You will be encouraged to bring cases for review and you will benefit from one-on-one treatment planning. Our instructors will guide you in your acquisition of the knowledge and confidence to treat your own cases from start to finish. You will learn to use CT guided surgical techniques, participate in handson model workshops and observe and place implants in live surgeries. Upon completion of this course you will understand why, when, and how patients can benefit from dental implant
treatment as well as how to incorpoate implant treatment into your practice.

This 4-day didactic training equips professionals to pursue advanced certification in oral implantology, endorsed by leading U.S. based dental implant academies.

This 2 day course will allow you to quickly add Socket Grafting and Dental Implants to your practice.

You already practice other phases of dentistry, why not Implants? With our help you will be able to add implant surgery and restoration to your everyday office procedures. You will increase your income quickly and substantially by learning the techniques presented in this 2 day seminar. You will leave more confident and capable than you previously believed possible, knowing which cases to do and which to refer. Our step-by-step training can be put to use right away. Our past participants have recession-proofed their practices with skills they have learned through Implant Educators Academy.

This On Demand course was created from a recording of a recent hands-on course. The benefit of a recorded live course over a stand-along recording is that the viewer benefits from the live discussions that always occur in a classroom setting.

In this course, we will be covering the basics of Clear Aligner Case Design and Fabrication. We will start from the basics of diagnostics, case selection, case workup, and how to implement model printing and tray fabrication in-office. Attendees will have the tools and strategies to implement the protocols the day they return to their practices. We will show you how to setup your cases as efficiently as possible and help you to delegate as much as possible. This course will not be for the faint of heart. We will be working hard and not holding back.

In this course, we will be covering the basics of Guided Surgery including some more advanced strategies for full arch guides (even a BONUS peek into bone reduction guides).

Attendees will have the tools and strategies to implement both protocols the day they return to their practices.

We will show you how to design surgical guides in just minutes and help you to delegate as much as possible.

In this course, students will learn how to use Blue Sky Plan as well as basic ways to implement 3D printing in their offices.
A one hour long power point lecture is given by Dr. Russell Schafer that shows how he does design in his office as well as he does the basics of 3d printing.

After this, Dr. Schafer has 20 separate modules that cover:
1) How to build, articulate, and manipulate models in Blue Sky Plan
2) How to design crowns and bridges using both AI and Blue Sky Plan Libraries
3) How to design dentures and immediate dentures in Blue Sky Plan
4) How to create a surgical guide as well as how to create implant crowns with Blue Sky Plan.
Each individual module is between 15 to 90 minutes long depending on the topic and also has the corresponding STL files to follow along with Dr. Schafer.

Learn a methodical and repeatable approach to CBCT-based tx planning that will give you confidence in the operatory. This course is a required pre-requisite for those who are enrolling in the Entry Point™ live patient treatment sessions.

While this course is a critical part of the Entry Point™ continuum, it can also be taken as a standalone course. It is ideally suited for those who are already trained in implantology, but who do not yet feel comfortable with CBCT scanning and DICOM manipulation.

NOTE: First Hour of the course is offered for free: https://koernercenter.com/product/ep-txplanning-intro/

This 90-minute online course is designed to turn the normally frustrating and unpredictable process of denture creation into a simple, streamlined, and more profitable aspect of your practice, all while delivering better outcomes for your patients. Also Dr. Schafer includes the files to 3d Print your own denture trays to do your own 3 Step dentures as well as has a video to show how to use Blue Sky Plan to design dentures.
