Your first implant, without the jargon — Ivan Chicchon’s plain-spoken route from planning to placement
Adding implant surgery to your practice shouldn’t require deciphering someone else’s showpiece cases. Implant Surgery 101 keeps it grounded: over eight hours and 58 short lectures, surgically trained prosthodontist Ivan Chicchon covers planning on pano and CBCT, surgical anatomy, flap design, benchtop demonstrations and the instruments you actually need.

Inside the course
Plan and understand the anatomy
A five-week road map opens the course, followed by quick treatment-planning guidelines and a full anatomy block on maxillary and mandibular landmarks, the anterior loop, space requirements and tissue biotype.
Technique, cases and grafting
You set up the surgical kit and motor, prepare a site, then watch clinical videos of molar and premolar placement, sinus-floor situations, flaps and an introduction to bone and socket grafting.
Screening, restoring and logistics
Later modules cover medical screening charts, bonus immediate-placement and crown-restoration tips, consent forms, and how to set up the operatory for surgery.
