Advanced Surgical Course in Hard & Soft tissue Augmentation Techniques

Applicant must have passed Bachelor of Dentistry (BDS) course.

This course is tailor made for dentists who are already practicing implant dentistry. Each participant will get a chance to perform one major procedure like Sinus grafting- crestal or lateral, ridge split ,GBR or a block graft on patients.
