Dans le cadre de cette série de conférences dédiée au bien-être des professionnels dentaires, deux experts partagent des stratégies concrètes et fondées sur des données probantes pour prévenir les troubles musculosquelettiques et mieux gérer le stress professionnel. L’objectif de cet événement est de promouvoir la santé physique et mentale dans le milieu dentaire, tout en offrant des outils pratiques pour améliorer la qualité de vie au travail et prévenir l’épuisement professionnel.

Join us for a two-day in-person lecture and hands-on workshop with Dr. Olivier Carcuac, to explore two key topics: innovative mucogingival techniques to treat gingival recession affecting the lower incisors and soft-tissue management around implants.

Considered to be one of the most challenging clinical scenarios to treat, Dr. Carcuac will explore how such critical anatomical factors can be overcome to achieve complete root coverage with a modified version of the free gingival graft. The biological motive, step-by-step procedure, and overall potential will be shown through clinical cases and discussion around a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FGG and Mod-FGG.

Dr. Carcuac will explore how optimal esthetic outcomes with dental implants often depends on a complex relationship between surgical preparation, implant placement and distribution, soft tissue management in the surgical and restorative phases, and the final prosthesis design. This section of the workshop will focus on strengthening key concepts in soft-tissue augmentation, such as anatomical characteristics, soft tissue responses, and clinical skills, where the Expanded Mesh-FGG Technique will be introduced.

Join us for a comprehensive Implant Foundations training program designed for general dentists, hygienists, and other dental professionals looking to confidently begin placing dental implants. This course combines in-depth didactic education, immersive hands-on workshops, and live patient surgery. From September 25 to November 22, 2026, participants will take part in three structured in-person modules led by Dr. Natalie Wong, with guest instructor Dr. Beatrice Leung. The program covers implant principles, surgical protocols, and restorative workflows, with extensive hands-on training using advanced models and guided systems. Participants will gain live surgery experience with program-provided patients, reinforcing safe and predictable implant placement. This course meets ODQ and ADA CERP continuing education requirements and provides up to 105 ODQ CE units (63 ADA CERP CE units).
