THE BICON DESIGN is driven by simplicity. A cornerstone of its simplicity is short implants. When the Bicon system was first introduced in 1985, its 8.0mm length implants were considered quite short—most other implants were at least 12-14mm and sometimes 18-20mm long! Since then, the natural progression of Bicon’s design philosophy has resulted in 5.0mm, 5.7mm, and 6.0mm short implants, all with proven clinical success.

This course will demonstrate the science behind the practical application of short implants and the basic principles of the Bicon surgical and restorative techniques. Additionally, an overview of advanced surgical techniques that provide the opportunity to avoid complex grafting procedures will be shown. The course will also demonstrate innovative sinus augmentation techniques including the transalveolar technique.

Curriculum Includes:

• Introduction to the unique design and benefits of Bicon Short Implants
• Surgical placement procedures
• Use of Bicon Short Implants with internal and lateral sinus lift techniques
• The innovative transalveolar technique using Bicon Short Implants
