and i quote... After this weekend (surgical session) I feel comfortable placing implant, but more importantly I know what should be referred, and understand the latest bone grafting techniques by up to date oral surgeons, so we can describe and recommend procedures to our clients. This course has had a tremendous impact on our practice as we see things quite differently now. It is a whole new area of growth, excitement and fun. We are now even more proud of the new services we can offer our clients. - Dr. John Roderick Johnston, North Bay, ON. This course has allowed me to incorporate implants into my practice from a surgical and restorative aspect by providing me with solid surgical and treatment planning foundations that I can trust. Dr. Allison Falconer, Regina, SK The AIID course series was a comprehensive and complete program on implants. Dr. Lin had mentioned during the series that he is going to make you a better dentist with implants. After completing the course, I can honestly say that I feel more confident in placing and restoring dental implants. The series is for the novice and also for the dentist who is more experienced. You can select your patients accordingly and all the specialist instructors are there to guide you during the program. I highly recommend that every dentist take this series as part of their implant training. - Dr. Sanjay Uppal, Cambridge, ON Mark s approach to implant dentistry is refreshing. He focuses on a prosthetic driven approach which ultimately will lead to greater clinical success in implant dentistry. Lecturers are entertaining and patient-focused. I now feel ready to offer implants as a viable treatment option for my own patients. Dr. Brett Cerqua, Belleville, ON Placing implants cannot be learned in a weekend course. Take this course and it will allow you to know which cases you should treat and which one you should refer. This course will increase your brain power guaranteed! Dr. George Argiropoulos, St. Catharines, ON The AIID course in implants is hands down the single greatest continuing education experience you will ever have. Thorough, systematic, organized, professional and practical. From the state-of-the art training facility, to the world class lecturers and detailed course notes, to the outstanding and dedicated course administrators--> everything is of the highest quality. Dr. Lin has the rare gift as an educator to inspire with his skill and experience as an everyday clinician whilst maintaining a humility and openness that nurtures your development and confidence in placing and restoring implants! Dr. Joe Schirru, Fort Erie, ON I was quite impressed with the implant course offered by AIID. Dr. Mark Lin is an articulate and knowledgeable lecturer blending entertainment, clinical pearls, and emphasizing critical treatment planning, risk and patient management. Top lecturers from the University of Toronto were brought in including the Heads of Prosthodontics, and Periodontology. The hands-on cadaver exercises allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the anatomical structures and landmarks and simulate real-life scenarios while placing implants (e.g. possible dehiscence and fenestrations, flap design and graft placement) but it s all the planning and theory before we pick up a drill that is important. Another advantage of this course is the simultaneous lecturing of our auxiliaries and staff at another site. While we learn about implant theory, my office manager and assistant are learning about treatment coordination, dental photography, operatory set up and other subjects. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will look forward to placing implants into carefully screened candidates in the future. - Dr. Erwin Chan Aurora, ON If you want to learn to surgically place dental implants and desire a comprehensive program that will take you from A to Z, this is the program you MUST invest in. Concepts from treatment planning to surgery to prosthetic placement, from didactic principles to model preparations and actual patient procedures, this comprehensive program will give you the confidence to implement implant dentistry within your practice. The foundations of knowledge with lectures were provided from multidisciplinary specialists that are well respected in the professional field. The hands-on exercises, training on models, practice on cadavers and observations of live patient procedures served to be valuable learning experiences prior to our own live patient procedures. We then took the next step and performed surgeries and implant placements on our own cases under the guidance of multiple clinical specialists. In addition, the program trained my staff to assist and incorporate implants into the practice through the concurrent auxilliaries program. I couldn t be happier with my choice I made by taking this program and would encourage anyone interested in adding or improving their current knowledge base in dental implants to make the decision to take this valuable course. In addition to gaining the confidence to implement dental implants in my private practice, I know I have become a much well rounded and better dentist by taking this course - Dr. Laura Zhang, Markham, ON
