2nd ITI Education Week Porto Alegre

This ITI Education Week, held at Moinhos de Vento Hospital in Porto Alegre, has been designed for clinicians with experience in the field of implant dentistry. It is the first to be held in Portuguese and Spanish. The four-day course will run under the topic “From Extraction to Rehabilitation” and focus on the biological and clinical effects of tooth loss and approaches to rehabilitation, from esthetic single tooth to full edentulous complex cases.  Lectures include evidence-based aspects of alveolar bone preservation, soft tissue management, simultaneous and staged bone grafts.  For this edition, the topic of digital planning and workflow was added. Besides a series of lectures, the course includes live surgeries and case discussions. Participants will benefit from the significant research and clinical experience of the faculty.

Porto Alegre is a beautiful city in south-eastern Brazil. With its direct flight connections to Panama City, Lisbon and Miami, Porto Alegre is easily accessible for participants from South America as well as other Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking parts of the world.  Major South American cities such as Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Santiago are just a two-hour flight away.  The weather in November is warm and sunny, so participants may want to enjoy the weekend before or after the course visiting the nearby attractions.
