Ceramic Implantology Course - Dr. Gregor Hočevar, Skofja Loka (SVN)

1-Day SDS Ceramic Implantology Course

with SDS Ambassador Dr. Gregor Hočevar

Hands-on courses for ceramic implants are held across Europe by our SDS Ambassadors. They provide a comprehensive overview of the methods and techniques for case planning and implantation with SDS ceramic implants. The first practical knowledge of the SDS implant system is also conveyed during a live surgery, where Dr. Hočevar demonstrates the GH technique he developed, the immediate implantation of the ceramic implant in the aesthetic zone, from patient preparation through the creation of the temporary crown to postoperative supportive therapies. Additionally, participants have the opportunity in the “Hands-On” portion of the course to place SDS ceramic implants in models with various bone densities.
