What Does This
Course Cover?
Dental implant procedures require that the surgeon work in parts of the jaw that are outside the scope of everyday dentistry. Implantology often involves working in vital structures and surgical spaces that must be recognized and understood before working in these areas. Violation of these structures may create serious immediate or long-term consequences to the patient.
​
This program provides a systematic review of the anatomical structures, and participants will learn how to apply that knowledge in the surgical setting. The program is developed with a combination of modular lectures and cadaver dissection in the surgical anatomy lab to reinforce the learning. By the completion of this session, dentists can approach their surgery with confidence in knowing how to provide treatment in a safe manner.
​
The distinguishing feature of this program is the emphasis and reinforcement of practical application of surgical anatomy.
Meet Your Course Instructors, Dr. David Resnick & Dr. Jonathan Tsang
Dr. David Resnick is a 1992 graduate of the University of Minnesota Dental School and maintains a full time practice focused on surgical procedures including dental implants and bone reconstruction procedures. He is Past President of the Central District of the AAID and served on the Admissions and Credential Committee (A&C) of the AAID for 6 years and as a Board Examiner for the AAID. He has lectured widely in the United States on the topic of Allograft Block Bone Reconstruction Techniques.
Dr. Jonathan Tsang attended the University of British Columbia where he studied mathematics before heading to Philadelphia to study at Temple University School of Dentistry. Upon graduating, Dr. Tsang returned to his home town of Abbotsford to open his dental practice.​
​
Dr. Tsang is also Board Certified of the American Board of Oral Implantology/ Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID), a designation shared by fewer than 50 dentists in all of Canada. Certification by the ABOI/ID attests to the fact that Dr. Tsang has demonstrated knowledge, ability, and proficiency in implant dentistry through a rigorous examination process.
