PADICE Surgical Implant Program

Sessions 13–15: Immediate Implant Surgery, Esthetic Rehabilitation & Implant Longevity

---

INTRODUCTION

Sessions 13, 14, and 15 represent the final and most clinically advanced phase of the PADICE Surgical Implant Program. These sessions focus on immediate implant placement, esthetic-zone rehabilitation, management of implant complications, and long-term implant success.

The emphasis of Sessions 13–15 is on atraumatic extraction, immediate provisionalization, ridge preservation and splitting, peri-implant disease management, occlusion, and prosthetic-driven esthetics. Participants learn how to deliver predictable immediate implant therapy while maintaining tissue architecture, esthetics, and biological stability.

These sessions complete the transition from surgical implant placement to full implant case management, ensuring clinicians can treat not only ideal cases, but also failed implants, peri-implant disease, and esthetic complications with confidence.
