Metal-free implant dentistry end to end — zirconia science, one- and two-piece surgery, immediate placement, digital prosthetics and complications
Canadian ceramic implant pioneer Dan Hagi builds Full-Scope Zirconia Implantology: Surgical & Prosthetic Protocols from 15 video lectures (9 h 56 min) that combine theory with clinical cases. He starts with the history and material science of zirconia, including low-temperature degradation, moves through soft tissue biology and success factors, then covers simple, guided, immediate and full-arch surgery, prosthetic retention and digital workflows, complication management and how to present ceramic implants to patients.
- 15lectures
- 9 h 56 minof video
- 1- & 2-pieceimplant designs
What you’ll be able to do
- Explain why modern zirconia is suitable as an implant material and what makes it fail
- Choose between one-piece and two-piece ceramic implants from the main manufacturers
- Place ceramic implants with static or dynamic guided surgery, or freehand when appropriate
- Perform immediate post-extraction placement with simultaneous grafting
- Assess stability of one-piece implants and select a retention design for the prosthesis
Inside the course
Why ceramic
Early lectures follow how titanium and ceramic implant designs evolved, the chemistry and physics of zirconia, intraoral forces and ways to reduce them, and the soft tissue response that may lower peri-implant disease risk, with cases of bone loss around ceramic fixtures treated.
Planning and surgery
A general planning lecture sets out evaluation, biomechanics and esthetics before surgical sessions on straightforward cases, computer-guided placement, immediate implants with augmentation, and large GBR and full-arch rehabilitations shown through case reviews.
Prosthetics, problems and practice
The later lectures cover prosthetic armamentarium, analog and digital restorative workflows, early surgical complications and practical fixes, and closing thoughts on marketing ceramic implants and avoiding poor outcomes.

Before you buy
Does lecture 4 really cover transmucosal contour transfer?
Its title says so, but its description is about biomechanics, intraoral forces and bone healing, so the title may be mislabelled.
Is every lecture specific to zirconia?
No. The treatment planning lecture is general implant dentistry, included as background for the ceramic protocols.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
