Our Training Models

Dr. Massad and his team are now delivering the latest techniques and procedures in prosthodontics to you and your staff. A series of two 2 day training packages are offered to better satisfy the individual needs of each participant. When you attend the first two day course, you’ll quickly understand that this is not a typical classroom - it is a fully immersive experience into modern prosthodontics.

Prior to traveling to the Massad Center for Higher Learning each participant will be required to attend a webinar and take a pretest to qualify for the hands-on and over-the-shoulder course.

Each section begins with a review of techniques demonstrated on actual patients. Then it’s time for you to actively participate, performing the techniques yourself with over-the-shoulder instruction. It is truly a hands-on experience.

Course Objectives

  • Review simplified and practical concepts in Removable and Implant Removable Prosthodontics of today, and define the advantages and disadvantages vs. past methods.
  • Discuss various problems commonly associated with the edentulous and implant overdenture patients and methods to intercept these problems before committing to treatment of the patient.
  • Master the tissue character and tissue mobility classifications and how these relate to choosing a surgical solution or a design alteration in the final prosthesis
  • Describe the clinical technique in developing the final prosthesis for the various boney and tissue edentulous conditions with complete and implant immediate denture appliances.
  • Learn how the Orthopedic Splint process resolves many prosthodontic problems.
  • Understand how the clinical technique for the immediate denture has evolved to provide predictable results.
  • Achieve Post-Op Equilibration in record time and learn how to significantly minimize Post-Op appointments.

One on One Course

At our facility, we can arrange a customized individual one or two day course tailored instruction to your specific needs. We can provide for you a local patient in need, or you may opt to bring your own patient. We also allow for you to bring staff members for this tailored class.

Participants are responsible for total airfare, hotel, transportation (a shuttle service may be available from select hotels), evening meals, and incidentals. And don’t forget your clinical jackets or any special gloves you may require.

Discount hotel rates are being offered to course participants through various Tulsa hotels. Please
contact us for us details.

Class begins at 8:00 a.m. with sessions totaling between 8-10 hours day one and 6 -8 hours day two.


On Site Course

In some cases, it may be more appropriate for us to come to your practice and provide training at your facility. We will tailor the training to the specific needs of you and your chosen patient. Participants are responsible for total airfare, hotel, and transportation to and from your facility for Dr. Massad and a Team Instructor or his Lab Technician.

Prerequisite

Considering the advanced level of the courses, a prerequisite is necessary to guarantee that all participants receive the highest level of instruction without the need to review the basics. At a minimum, you are required to go online and enroll in a pre class webinar and take a pretest before you attend any of our classes (Watch this page for details on how to enroll for the webinar). Dr. Massad’s video,
Predictable Complete Dentures III, is also a good DVD series to review. If necessary, you may purchase the video online, or you may purchase with your registration.
