Welcome to our master class
Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute welcomes all of you to our unique 3 days course on UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING IMPLANT COMPLICATIONS. We are committed to bringing a meaningful, affordable and competence-driven education to a global community of dental professionals. At our institute, we believe time is valuable and learning should be driven by actual needs of our patients so that we can serve them better.
We have invested a lot of time and effort in designing our course and our program is driven by the clinical needs, focused on efficient development of real skills. Our course is led by experts in the field of both clinical topics as well as research. We believe in learning for action.
What is this master class about?
If you have been working with dental implants for some time now, you are definitely aware that things don’t always go our way and we sometimes end up with complications and failures. When implant treatments go unexpectedly wrong, the chief cause of failure is often hidden and the clinical findings can be misleading. In this multidisciplinary course, you will learn how to find the real causes and how to design step-by-step the proper management strategies.
A little more about our course topic
The increasing application of dental implants has resulted not only in a significant increase in the number but also complexity of problems the dentists encounter with implant patients. Any failure or complication of implants can adversely affect the patients’ satisfaction and trust, given the invasiveness and cost of implant therapy, as well as the patients’ expectations.
Implant complications have been typically classified as biological, which mainly involves inflammation or pathology of the peri-implant tissues and technical which involves the various implant or prosthesis components. These two major groups of complications have been traditionally examined as separate and non-related pathologies.
Nevertheless, increasing evidence indicates the close interrelation between biology and technology. Most often, a biological problem could be the underlying factor for a technical failure and vice versa, which can be clinically manifested as screw loosening, veneer chipping or plaque induced peri-implantitis.
On this grounds, we believe that understanding of both biological pathogenic mechanisms, technical limitations as well proper comprehensive treatment planning is the key for the prevention and successful management of implant complications. We strictly adhere to these keys while treating our patients, and so we teach the same to our students.
This evidence-based yet highly practical course is devised with a comprehensive and inquisitive point of view, aiming to identify the common underlying factors of the most frequent types of problems encountered with dental implant treatments, whether it is technical or biological.
The course will help the students investigate the interrelation between the biological and technical causes and design the proper strategies for the prevention, the early diagnosis and management of implant related problems, and this is guided by actual patient cases.

Therefore, at the Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute, we train our students to be successful and give them the knowledge that is needed to understand when it is not advisable to proceed with a procedure.
Dr. Kiran
This masterclass on implants complications management by Dr. Rajat Sachdeva is a fantastic program and I had an amazing experience here. This is an excellent course which has addressed almost every questions one can have about implants.
For me, when it comes to implants, I think the most important factor controlling the success of the case is your experience and presence of mind. I have done enough implant cases to understand that every patient brings a different challenge to the table and as an implantologist, one should be ever ready to address them and manage it successfully. I had a lot of expectations from the course by Dr. Sachdeva as he is a well-known name in the field of implants, and I must admit that I was not disappointed at all.
With its pragmatic approach to preventing and managing implant complications, this expertly crafted course serves as an indispensable guide for all dentists placing or restoring implants. The course was quite comprehensive and has been broken down into very helpful topic-based modules. Emphasis was given on a thorough treatment planning for implants case based on sound diagnosis, CBCT interpretation, medical and other risk management. As we observed Dr. Rajat perform a case, he took us through the importance of minute, at-the-moment decisions which can positively influence the outcome of the case. Prosthetic complications was another avenue which was given equal importance as aesthetics is one of the prime factor determining patient satisfaction. As the saying goes, ‘no stone is left unturned,’ be it a surgical ‘stone’ or a prosthetic/restorative ‘stone’.
Complex and challenging cases were brought to the program and Dr. Rajat Sachdeva taught us how to manage them bringing in his experience and acumen which added additional value to the course. I now feel more competent in implants than I was before, and can put myself squarely at the top of my implant career.
Dr. Shipra
The implants complications course by Dr. Rajat Sachdeva has repeatedly demonstrated that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Most courses teaches us only the implants that go perfectly, so it is very helpful to see everything that can go wrong, and how to manage complications when they arise.
Often there have been minor cases of implant complications where I would wing it based on my understanding of hard and soft tissues. But after attending this course, I have acquired the confidence to make better decisions and see the end result in the pre-planning stages. I loved that the course was practical oriented with just enough theoretical knowledge. We spent most of times observing the different complications that can occur and understand where exactly in the protocol did the things go south. It is also not possible to predict a treatment outcome completely and the skill to manage and minimize the complications should be known.
The course has given me a wholesome knowledge of the various complications and its management. However, another unexpected important thing that I learnt is to keep my calm and manage the patient amidst this scenario. This training cannot be just “given” and it would require years of experience to learn on my own. Through this course, I got to imbibe it by observing our mentor. As most of the full mouth implants patients belong to geriatric population, it was important to understand the medical complications and risks.
Although there are many courses out there, this course is unique because here you are not only taught and shown how to approach a certain case or perform a certain procedure, but you are yourself involved and invested in the case, so you never forget. I would really recommend this course to every clinician who are just starting their implant career or experienced implantologists as well.
Dr. Ashwini
As a general dentist, I can say that in spite of increasing popularity of implantology, a comprehensive education and training about it remains limited to post-graduate courses. Only a few diploma courses can actually do justice to the dynamic field of implants. Dr. Rajat’s dental diploma courses on implant complications is one such course and I am glad to have completed it early in my career.
This course is of world-class quality, unbiased, evidence-based and clinically-oriented one. We began the journey by exploring how discoveries in biology and technological developments lead to the current practice of dental implants. Then, we examined clinical cases, diagnose the patients’ needs and expectations and learn the principles of treatment planning. Step-by-step surgical procedures for placing implants and various restorative techniques were taught and the lessons were directed by current evidence and best practices. In the last leg of our course, we investigated some of the major threats and complications of implant procedures and ways to ensure successful treatments and long serving implants.
All in all, I can say that this was a very thorough course and definitely delivered way more than just the name. I would sincerely urge my fellow clinicians to join this course so that the level of implant dentistry being practiced can be elevated and improved.
Dr. Nitin Jain
I learnt about this course through a colleague of mine and joining this has been a complete game-changer for my implant career. What I have learnt here is intangible, and I can only appreciate the difference in the quality of my treatments before and after this course.
Dental implant complications may occur during site development, implant placement, or along its restorative phase. This course on implants complications is a thorough and comprehensive one which has adequately dealt with all the aspects where things can go wrong. Apart from handling various technical faults, patient management was also discussed in depth. The techniques for patient handling did not only help me in implants cases but also in general.
We were presented some cutting edge technologies and new trends that may shape the future of implant dentistry, including using digital technology in tissue engineering and regeneration, dynamic navigation and digital workflow in implant procedures.
I would highly recommend this course to every practitioner practicing implant dentistry. It surely will help the clinician to explore implant dentistry right from treatment planning to the perfect execution of the case.
Dr. Sakshi Rastogi
In modern dentistry, it doesn’t matter how long you have been practicing implants, you are still prone to commit mistakes. However, when it comes to implant dentistry, a simple mistake is also not pardonable as it can lead to serious complications, often leading to failure of implants. a short course on implant complications and management was long overdue in my career and I finally decided to tick it. I chose Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s academy for this course owing to many great reviews about them.
From the onset this online course was student friendly and easy to manage. The course is well structured, informative and educational. One unique feature of this course was that besides the lectures, they even provide you with demonstrative videos and reading content which you can refer to at any time. The lectures are well presented, of high quality and evidence based. I personally like Dr. Rajat’s way of teaching which included many practical tips with a different perspective. The technical and biological aspects of implant failures were elaborated and helped us be able to diagnose them and manage accordingly.
I would highly recommend this course to every implantologist so that they can attain 100% success rate in their practice.
Dr. Mayur
I have recently started placing implants in my practice and can now realize the risks and complications associated with implants surgery. For the completeness of my training in implants, I wanted to join a short course which could explore about various reasons of failures in implant surgery and its management. Dr. Rajat’s institute for dental diploma courses is truly a class apart. I am glad and proud to say that I have completed my entire training in implants from here. The kind of training given here is completely practice-oriented with all the tips and tricks of the trade taught. On completion of my program here, I now understand the importance and the techniques of handling patients, convincing them for the right treatment and maintaining our economical balance, all at once.
I must say that this course should be mandatory for those of us who see patients with implants, which we all do nowadays. The course was indeed impressive - all you need to know about implant treatments and performed in an instructive and pedagogical way. My favorite part was the authentic patient cases with questions and the possibilities to send questions to you. It is definitely a great course to complete your implants training.
