Parenteral Conscious Sedation (IV sedation)
Especially we endeavor to teach our students the latest clinical procedures, and to provide them with state of the art technology. In addition to
implantology and light conscious sedation, we teach sinus
lifts, ridge augmentation, advanced cardiac life support, and
microbial and genetic testing. We have several implant systems, and
a computer program for reading digitalized CT scans and treatment planing implant patients. We
have two surgical microscopes which are of tremendous value in periodontal surgery, especially regenerative
surgery
