In recent years, there has been a significant increase in patient requests for rehabilitations on both natural teeth and implants. These requests require advanced surgical, periodontal, and prosthetic skills. Moreover, rehabilitation needs are not only functional but must also be optimal from an aesthetic point of view.

This course allows participants to share the experience of a team led by two international experts who have combined their expertise in the fields of bone reconstruction, peri-implant soft tissue management, and digital workflow, offering a unique and up-to-date training program.

The course will conclude with an in-depth study of zygomatic surgery techniques.

During the practical part on cadavers, the various procedures described in the theoretical part will be demonstrated, and the most important “at-risk” anatomical structures that may be encountered during surgeries will be identified.

Subsequently, participants will perform practical exercises under the direct supervision of the instructors.

The course is aimed at professionals who already have considerable experience in implantology but who seek further training to tackle complex anatomical and/or clinical situations and wish to enhance their surgical skills.

Cremona is the city of music par excellence, world-famous for the art of “liuteria”, the construction of stringed instruments. This tradition that was included in the Unesco Heritage list in 2012. Famous for the Violin Museum, which houses unique pieces that belonged to famous violin makers of the past; but also, Stradivari’s house, and the Ponchielli Theater, dedicated to the Cremonese musician.

Cremona’s monumental Cathedral can easily be considered one of the most stunning religious buildings in northern Italy. It has earned the nickname of “Sistine Chapel of the north” because of the incredible series of frescoes and paintings that decorate the interiors.

The symbol of the city is the Torrazzo, the bell tower located in the town hall square, is the tallest brick tower in Europe. Palazzo Cittanova and Palazzo Trecchi used to be the home of local noble families and the seat of the local council. The king of local sweets is torrone, a nougat made of toasted almonds and honey, is the most popular sweet in town, also well-known is mostarda cremonese, a special spicy-sweet condiment that contains a mix of large chunks of fruits preserved in a mustard syrup.
