Predictable Implant Success
 A Fundamentals-first approach to implant surgery

Course Overview:

Over the course of three days, this program delivers a fundamentals-first approach to implant dentistry, focusing on the biomechanical, biologic, and tissue-management principles that drive long term surgical success. Clinicians gain a deep understanding of how implant biology behaves - covering osseointegration, bone density, anatomy, and the pharmacologic factors that influence healing and stability. Radiology and diagnosis are explored in depth, including interpretation of periapical, panoramic, and CBCT imaging, along with the foundational concepts behind digital integration and guided surgery.

The program includes hands-on training in drilling protocols, motor setup, osteotome use, incision design, tissue management, and suturing. Also included is a dedicated dental assistant training designed to elevate operatory efficiency and reinforce the team’s impact on surgical success. The course concludes with a supervised live surgical procedure, giving participants the opportunity to surgically place an implant, apply their biologically driven approach, and leave with the confidence to deliver predictable single-implant cases.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate anatomical structures and biologic factors that influence implant stability by analyzing radiographic data, bone density, and tissue behavior.
  • Apply foundational biomechanical and surgical principles to design evidence-based implant treatment plans driven by anatomy, biology, and long-term functional requirements.
  • Develop essential surgical technique proficiency through structured hands-on training in motor setup, drilling sequences, osteotome use, incision design, tissue management, and suturing.
  • Implement atraumatic extraction and socket preservation methods to maintain tissue architecture and support predictable implant outcomes.
  • Integrate biologically sound surgical workflows during a supervised live implant placement, demonstrating understanding of tissue response, biomechanics, and operative efficiency.

Live surgeries will be performed by Indiana-licensed dentists in a collaborative, mentorship-driven setting led by expert clinicians. Out-of-state participants, please inquire about licensure.

Meet Your Instructor:

Dr. Kenneth Troutman, DDS, FAGD, MIIF 
Dr. Troutman grew up in Boonville, IN and graduated as Valedictorian of Boonville High School in 1994. He attended the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville and received his B.S. in Biology where he graduated as Magna Cum Laude in 1998. Upon graduation from the University of Southern Indiana, he twice received the award for Excellence in Pre-Dentistry. Dr. Troutman received his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis in 2002. In 2008, Dr. Troutman completed a Dental Implant externship at the Midwest Implant Institute (MII) in Ohio. In 2011 he was awarded Fellowship status at MII. After receiving his Doctorate degree, Dr. Troutman was proud to return to his home area and practice dentistry in Huntingburg where he excels in a wide range of General, Cosmetic, Restorative, Oral Surgery and Implant Dentistry procedures. Dr. Troutman is committed to staying on the leading edge of dentistry and dental technology and to providing excellent care to his patients. Dr. Troutman has a strong commitment to continuing education and has completed over 500 hours to stay abreast of the latest advances in the field of dentistry. Dr. Troutman is now hosting dental implant seminars at the office providing training to doctors about dental implant surgery and restorations. When not providing care for his patients, Dr. Troutman enjoys spending time with his wife Jody and his two children. He also enjoys playing basketball, boating, water skiing and watching all sports
