Modern technology has changed the dynamic of today’s dental practice. Procedures such as implant site enhancement have traditionally been referred to specialists because of their risk and difficult techniques. With the introduction of piezosurgery technology, clinicians can now perform those same procedures with an increased margin of safety and even greater surgical precision. Piezosurgery technology enables clinicians selectively cut only hard tissue (e.g. bone) avoiding damage to important anatomic soft tissue structures (e.g. nerves, gingiva, sinus membranes). These benefits are paramount to risk management, simplifying surgical techniques, alleviating patient apprehension and allowing you to offer both surgical steps of implant site preparation and implant surgery in your office instead of referring the patient out. This technology can generate a significant source of new income for your practice.

2. Piezo Technology for Increased Safety
• Piezosurgery technology enables clinicians selectively cut only
hard tissue (e.g. bone) avoiding damage to important anatomic soft
tissue structures (e.g. nerves, gingiva, sinus membranes).
• These benefits are paramount to risk management, simplifying
surgical techniques, alleviating patient apprehension and allowing
you to offer both surgical steps of implant site preparation and
implant surgery in your office instead of referring the patient out.

3. Why Take This Course?
• Modern technology has changed the dynamic of today’s dental
practice. Procedures such as implant site enhancement have
traditionally been referred to specialists because of their risk and
difficult techniques.
• With the introduction of piezosurgery technology, trained clinicians
can now perform those same procedures with an increased margin
of safety and even greater surgical precision.
• This technology can generate a significant source of new income
for your practice as piezo surgery technology has proven to be one
of the fastest ROI equipment purchases an implant practitioner can
make
• Particularly for the general practitioner, who will now be enabled to
offer the implant preparation procedure as well as the implant
surgery itself in-house.

4. Hands-On Training
• Course participants will have the opportunity to operate the
piezosurgery unit and perform various bone cutting exercises to
experience the tactile feedback of the handpiece, ease of
operation, and surgical precision of piezosurgery.
• Each participant will also have the opportunity to hands-on
compare and contrast three of the leading piezo surgery units on
the market
