Participants can choose one of two separate sessions for the program:

March 30 – April 11, 2026

September 1 – September 11, 2026

Each session is a complete, standalone course — you may enroll in either the March–April session or the September session.

The course takes place in Florianópolis, Brazil – often referred to as the “Magic Island.” Known for its stunning natural beauty, Florianópolis is one of the safest state capitals in Brazil and boasts the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in the country.

This course is designed for recent dental graduates and practicing professionals looking to advance their clinical expertise in implant dentistry. Through hands-on training and expert supervision, participants gain practical experience and confidence in performing implant procedures.

The program runs over 10 intensive days and includes a mix of lectures, Lab sessions, and clinical practice. Participants should be prepared for a full-time schedule, with a strong emphasis on practical, supervised training in implant dentistry.

While there is no fixed number—since it depends on patient availability and individual treatment needs—we strongly estimate that each participant will place between 15 and 20 implants, with the possibility of even more in some cases.

The program is structured to provide extensive hands-on clinical experience, and we prioritize ensuring that every participant gains meaningful surgical exposure under expert supervision. Our goal is to maximize each student’s practical learning while maintaining high standards of patient care.

The course primarily utilizes Nobel Biocare, recognized globally for its clinical reliability, and broad scientific support. The system is widely used in both academic and private practice settings, providing participants with relevant experience that translates directly into real-world application.

Our focus is on ensuring that participants become proficient with a high-quality, well-documented implant system, while also gaining the foundational knowledge that can be adapted to other systems in the future.

While immediate implant placement and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are important advanced procedures, they are not part of the core training in this course. Our focus is on building a strong foundation in implant dentistry, ensuring that participants gain confidence and competence in standard, predictable cases.

However, minor bone grafting procedures—such as managing small defects around implant sites—may be addressed on a case-by-case basis, depending on clinical scenarios and patient needs.

Yes, the course includes training with the Versah® system. Participants will gain hands-on experience with the Versah system in selected cases, learning how to incorporate it into their implant protocols safely and effectively. While not the primary focus of the course, it offers valuable exposure to advanced instrumentation that complements conventional implant placement techniques.

Implants are placed using surgical guides, which are pre-planned to ensure precision, safety, and predictability. This guided approach allows participants to become familiar with digital workflows and modern surgical techniques that are increasingly common in clinical practice.

While participants do not select individual patients or cases, every effort is made to ensure a diverse and meaningful clinical experience for each student. Cases are assigned based on clinical availability, educational value, and participant readiness.

Our priority is to provide a balanced and hands-on learning experience, with exposure to a variety of implant scenarios under expert supervision. Participants will be involved in case discussions, which help develop critical decision-making skills for future independent practice.
