The prosthetic foundation of the Misch International Implant Institute is designed as 3 (three), 3 day sessions, focusing on Diagnosis & Treatment Planning, Fixed Prosthetic Options, and Removable Prosthetic Options.
Session I: Diagnosis & Treatment Planning

Prosthetic Course I will discuss the rationale for implants and complete and partial edentulism as a national health problem. Clinicians will learn how to build treatment plans based on patient evaluation, bone density, prosthetic options and economics. They will learn to utilize the latest technology in computerized tomography and recognize the stress factors as they relate to biomechanics and treatment planning. Clinicians will be taught treatment plan modifications and options as they relate to implant success and failure. Hands-on laboratory workshops will demonstrate and let clinicians practice applications in a controlled learning environment.
Session II: Fixed Prosthetic Options

Prosthetic Course II will cover details of esthetic single-tooth implant restorations and options for fixed prosthesis and short span fixed prosthesis. Implant design rational, treatment planning and the principles of cement prostheses are also presented. Learn how to select the correct abutment for each case based on design and prosthetic options. This course will include several comprehensive case studies demonstrating implant protection during occlusion, joining implants to teeth and crown height space considerations.
Session III: Removable Prosthetic Options

Prosthetic Course III will cover the completely edentulous implant treatment options for removable and fixed prosthetics. Clinicians will review the generic terminology of implant components and overdentures. Discussion concerning cement vs. screw-in prostheses will cover indications and complications and ways to make the procedures more predictable. Bar design and attachment selection types will be reviewed in detail to provide knowledge of the best restorative option. Each clinician will practice modifying removable prosthetics in a hands-on lab setting. Full arch fixed restorations and step by step prosthetic concepts are also presented.

In 1984, Dr. Carl Misch founded the Misch International Implant Institute (MIII), which now has locations in Michigan and Canada. Over the years, the MIII has been present in Brazil, Las Vegas, Florida, Italy, Japan, Korea, Monaco, Spain, and the United Kingdom. As Director, he has trained more than 3,5000 doctors in a hands-on, yearly forum of education in implant dentistry. Programs are offered in both the surgical and prosthetic aspects of care. Dr. Misch has more than ten patents related to implant dentistry and is co-inventor of the BioHorizons® Maestro Dental Implant System.
Dr. Misch has written three editions of Contemporary Implant Dentistry (Elsevier), which has become one of the most popular books in dentistry and has been translated into Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Korean. He has also written Dental Implant Prosthetics (Elsevier). He has published over 250 articles and has repeatedly lectured in every state in the United States as well as in 47 countries throughout the world.
Dr. Misch graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1973 from the University of Detroit Dental School, then went on to receive his Prosthodontic Certificate, Implantology Certificate and Masters Degree in Dental Science from the University of Pittsburgh. The University of Yeditepe in Istanbul, Turkey and Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania each awarded Dr. Misch a Ph.D. (honoris causa). He holds several other post-graduate honors including twelve fellowships in dentistry, including the American College of Dentists, International College of Dentists, Royal Society of Medicine, American Association of Hospital Dentistry and the Academy of Dentistry International.
Dr. Misch holds Diplomat status at the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry and served as Board President and member of the examining committee. He has also served as President of several implant organizations including the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Academy of Implants and Transplants and the American College of Oral Implantologists. He is currently Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of International Congress of Oral Implantologists, which, with more than 75 countries represented, is the world’s largest implant organization.
