Pikos Institute Mastering Implant Dentistry Fundamentals Module 2 Multiple Implants, GBR, Compromised Sockets, L-PRF October 23 – October 25, 2025

The Pikos Institute Mastering Implant Dentistry Fundamentals  Module 2 is an advanced implant dentistry training program focused on multiple implant placement, guided bone regeneration (GBR), compromised extraction socket management, and biologic enhancement using Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF).

Designed for implant dentists and oral surgeons, this intensive hands-on educational course provides practical surgical strategies aimed at improving implant predictability, hard and soft tissue regeneration, and long-term restorative success in complex implant cases.

The curriculum combines evidence-based implant protocols with contemporary regenerative concepts, helping clinicians strengthen their understanding of implant site development, alveolar ridge reconstruction, grafting procedures, and biologically driven healing enhancement. Through step-by-step surgical instruction and clinical demonstrations, participants gain practical insight into managing challenging implant scenarios with greater confidence and precision.

This module is particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to expand beyond routine implant placement and improve outcomes in patients with compromised bone anatomy, extraction defects, and advanced grafting needs.

• Use of Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF)
• Bone grafting material selection and application
• Surgical flap management and wound closure
• Prevention and management of implant complications
• Evidence-based treatment planning for complex implant cases

The course emphasizes practical surgical workflows designed to improve long-term implant predictability and regenerative success.

Core Topics Covered

Multiple Implant Placement

The program reviews advanced strategies for:

• Multiple implant treatment planning
• Surgical sequencing
• Implant positioning
• Prosthetically driven implant placement
• Full-arch and multi-unit implant concepts

Faculty discuss methods for achieving predictable osseointegration and long-term restorative stability in more complex implant cases.

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)

A major focus of the course is advanced guided bone regeneration.

Topics include:

• Ridge augmentation techniques
• Bone graft material selection
• Membrane utilization
• Space maintenance principles
• Defect classification and management
• Horizontal and vertical augmentation concepts

Participants gain insight into surgical protocols aimed at reconstructing deficient alveolar ridges and improving implant site quality.

Compromised Extraction Socket Management

The course explores treatment strategies for extraction sites affected by:

• Bone loss
• Infection
• Thin buccal plates
• Periodontal compromise
• Traumatic defects

Sessions focus on preserving and rebuilding alveolar architecture to improve future implant placement outcomes and esthetic stability.

L-PRF & Biologic Enhancement

Modern biologic enhancement techniques are reviewed extensively, including:

• Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF)
• Growth factor biology
• Soft tissue healing acceleration
• Bone regeneration enhancement
• Surgical site optimization

Participants learn how biologic modifiers can support regenerative outcomes and reduce postoperative healing complications.

Soft Tissue & Hard Tissue Regeneration

The curriculum also addresses:

• Soft tissue management
• Flap design
• Tissue closure techniques
• Graft stabilization
• Wound healing optimization
• Esthetic tissue contouring

These concepts are essential for achieving both functional and cosmetic implant success.

Surgical Complication Prevention & Management

Advanced surgical sessions review:

• Implant complications
• GBR-related complications
• Infection control
• Graft exposure management
• Risk reduction strategies
• Surgical troubleshooting

Practical approaches are provided to improve surgical predictability and minimize postoperative complications.

Educational Features

Evidence-Based Implant Education

The course integrates:

• Contemporary implant research
• Regenerative biology
• Surgical evidence
• Clinical treatment protocols

This helps participants apply modern implant dentistry concepts to daily clinical practice.

Practical Surgical Focus

Unlike purely theoretical implant programs, this module strongly emphasizes:

• Subtitle files (.vtt)
• Educational PDF materials
• Structured multi-day training sessions

The on-demand format supports flexible review and repeated learning.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for:

• Implant dentists
• Oral surgeons
• Periodontists
• Prosthodontists involved in implant therapy
• Advanced general dentists performing implants
• Dental implant trainees

It is particularly valuable for clinicians seeking advanced training in:

• multiple implant surgery,
• GBR,
• compromised socket management,
• and biologic regenerative techniques.

Why This Course Matters

Modern implant dentistry extends far beyond simple implant placement. Successful long-term outcomes increasingly depend on the clinician’s ability to manage bone deficiencies, preserve soft tissue architecture, and integrate regenerative techniques into surgical planning.

This course provides a clinically practical and biologically driven approach to advanced implant surgery, helping clinicians improve implant stability, esthetic integration, and tissue healing in complex cases.

Its focus on GBR, extraction socket management, and L-PRF applications makes it especially relevant for implant dentists and oral surgeons seeking to expand their surgical capabilities and improve patient outcomes in regenerative implant dentistry.
