Implants are becoming the standard of care for replacing missing teeth, yet only 20% of dental professionals are presenting implant treatments to their patients. Why have the majority of clinicians not embraced implants? Studies indicate their reluctance is mostly due to their knowledge of and comfort level with implant techniques.

In association with the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, The Bicon Institute offers a comprehensive three-day Surgical and Prosthetic Principles course providing a detailed overview of dental implants and the Bicon Dental Implant System, its components, procedures, and expected treatment outcome.
