4 Days of Complete Implants Prosthodontics
A successful implant treatment involves a perfect balance between soft tissue, hard tissue, and an aesthetic and functional prosthetic component. This course will specifically look at the prosthetic aspects for the provision of dental implants for our patients from the unique perspective of prosthodontics.
This course is specially designed for oral surgeons who have mastered the surgical aspect of implantology and are looking to learn the art of rehabilitation.
If you are new to prosthetic rehabilitation, you can find all the fundamental and advanced information and training necessary in our 4 day course to start restoring straightforward single and multiple implant cases.
Even if you are already experienced with single-implant restorations, you can further develop your skills by learning to identify the best materials and procedures for the clinical situation to help ensure the desired strength and esthetics in more demanding single and multiple-unit restorations.
Learn in detail CAD/CAM-produced restorative options for single- and multiple-unit fixed restorations, cement, and screw-retained restorations.
Educate yourself in planning predictable prosthetic rehabilitation using the latest materials and digital tools.
This course includes both didactic and clinical related components as well as a hands-on clinical simulation and formal evaluations. Completing this course successfully will allow the participants to handle several different Implant prosthetic components. Additionally, it will deal with the current trends and practices involving Implant prosthetics that can skill the clinicians to manage most prosthetic rehabilitation and complications. Furthermore, the course will also cover the prosthetic protocols for prominent implant systems, and the generic protocols to allow the participants to confidently restore implants.
COURSEWORK
The 4 day course will include completing literature reviews, online learning sessions and pre-reading course assignments. This will be followed by extensive lectures, small group interactions, demonstrations and live-patient treatment.
You will be training under experienced prosthodontists and surgeons who will teach you how to grow your practice and treat patients predictably, from single tooth to full mouth cases. Live-prosthetic training step by step will be done.

COURSE BENEFITS
Dr. Tanuja Shekhar
I have attended implant prosthodontics course by Dr. Rajat Sachdeva in Delhi and this course has presented me with new and useful information, tools that I can integrate into my practice. I came in expecting a certain minimum number of patients, and this program has successfully delivered to my expectations. I was impressed that Dr. Rajat did not intervene during procedures, but allowed me to problem solve on my own, knowing he was there to back me up. Because of the intensive nature of the program, I have increased my confidence, both in fabrication of any type of prosthesis and managing any errors associated with it.
The whole curriculum using high-tech equipment and materials including: given binders and handouts, related articles, live surgeries, hands-on section of the course, and visual supplements were flawless. Every step behind delivering a prosthesis was covered in great detail, both conceptually and hands-on. I even used an articulator after many years and the experience was thrilling.
I proudly apply the knowledge I gained during training, and techniques at my dental practice. I highly recommend all dentists and dental implant specialists who like to pursue implant prosthodontics to pursue this program.
Dr. Manoj Kamil
I would like to congratulate Dr. Rajat Sachdeva for conducting an outstanding course on implant prosthodontics. This was the best course I have ever taken in my 27 years of practice. I am confident that I have learned the material as presented to start rehabilitating implants in my office tomorrow morning. Dr. Rajat and Dr. Nirav are excellent mentors and educators with the sole focus on training the volunteers to gain as much as practical experience as possible.
It was a very informative course and the syllabus of the program encouraged one to seek information and proceed with scientifically backed treatment. Prosthetic rehabilitation in aesthetic and non-aesthetic zones were covered separately. Complete workflow of fabrication of prosthesis was dealt with along with ample hands-on training of the same.
The students were also given a chance to fabricate the implant supported full mouth prosthesis step by step and deliver it to the patient themselves. This really worked up the confidence in us and increased the longevity of our knowledge.
Overall, I would like to simply say: "Well thought, well organized, well managed, well presented, well taught, and finally well done". I will recommend this institute to every clinician looking to expand their skillset.
Dr. Alka Nayak
I am a Periodontist and planning to start a full-fledged implant treatment service at my clinic. During my post-graduation, we were more enthusiastic towards learning the surgical aspect of placing implants. But as we carry this practice to our private clinics, we start to understand the gravity of implant prosthodontics. To provide a complete and holistic implant treatment to my patients, I needed to be well-versed with the rehabilitative part of implant dentistry.
The implant prosthodontics course conducted by Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute is a very good course if someone wants to hone their skills in restoring implants. The program is synoptic and comprehensive, covers everything I was expecting to learn.
The academy realized that all the trainees were well established in the surgical aspect and therefore, the course mentors did not waste any time repeating the surgical protocols and directly jumped on to the prosthetic part.
Fixed and removable prosthesis, hybrid dentures, Paulo malo prosthesis along with prosthesis for immediate loading implants, everything was covered in detail and was correlated well to the surgical aspect. We were made to do a good amount of hands-on exercises after which we practiced on live patients who already had implants inserted. We were made to make impressions along with recording jaw relations, bisque trial and the final insertion. This kind of complete and wholesome training gives you an excellent idea about the concept and also lets you deal with the complications and errors associated with it.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the course and would easily recommend it to every surgeon looking to refresh and upgrade their prosthetic skills.
Dr. Kishore Malik
Being an oral surgeon, I had always been confident in the surgical procedures related to implant dentistry, be it ridge augmentation, sinus lift or even just placing an implant. I have had years of experience in inserting single to full mouth implants. Having said that, I was always lacking in the restorative part of it.
When I decided to pursue a short course to polish my prosthodontics skills, I chose Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute in Ashok Vihar, Delhi. This is by far the most advanced course I have ever seen in my career. The curriculum was very exhaustive and covered almost every aspect of implant prosthodontics. The innovative plan for contingencies and long-term restorative solutions have no equal. I would highly recommend attending his program to anyone and it has changed the way I practice in a profound way.
We learnt a great deal about restoring any implant case, from CAD/CAM abutments, platform switching to altered screw channel restorations. We even got to use intraoral scanners and take digital impressions. The laboratory workflow was well explained and I was able to understand what to expect when we send an impression to the laboratory. Jaw relations are an integral part of fabricating a prosthesis. Understanding the physics behind recording maxillomandibular relations is very crucial and it was covered well in the course, both theoretically and practical.
Hands-on exercises and practice on live patients was definitely the highlight of the course. There were plenty of patients for each participant and individual mentoring was provided to each one of us. I am glad and grateful to get this opportunity to be inspired and educated in not only patient management but soft skills as well. A highly recommended course from my end.
