PADICE Surgical Implant Program

Sessions 1–3: Foundations of Surgical Implant Dentistry

Treatment Planning & Posterior Single-Tooth Implant Surgery

The PADICE Surgical Implant Program is a comprehensive, five-session surgical continuum designed to develop dentists into confident, evidence-based implant clinicians. Each session consists of three (3) intensive training days combining didactic instruction, CBCT-based diagnostics, live demonstrations, and hands-on surgical simulation.

Sessions 1, 2, and 3 form the surgical and biomechanical foundation of the entire PADICE curriculum.

These three sessions are focused on the diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical placement of posterior single-tooth implants in the partially edentulous patient—the most common and most critical starting point for predictable implant dentistry.

Participants are trained to evaluate bone quality and volume, interpret CBCT and radiographic data, select implant number, diameter, length, and position, and match prosthetic design to biomechanical and biological constraints. These sessions integrate prosthetic-driven implant planning with surgical execution, ensuring that implants are placed in positions that support long-term functional and esthetic success.

Hands-on components include CT interpretation workshops, implant placement in treatment models, and surgical suturing, preparing participants to safely transition into live clinical implant cases.

Primary Clinical Focus

Posterior Single-Tooth Implant Replacement
(Partially edentulous patients)

Participants learn how to:

• Diagnose posterior tooth loss
• Evaluate bone and force factors
• Select the correct implant design and position
• Execute a biologically safe and prosthetically ideal surgical placement

This focus builds the foundation for more advanced grafting, sinus, full-arch, and immediate load protocols taught later in the PADICE continuum.
