Five days. Twenty to thirty supervised placements.

No. Cohorts take dentists who have never placed an implant alongside dentists who place occasionally. Cases are assigned to the dentist, not the other way round, and the first cases you are given match where you are. Every case is planned on CBCT before the cohort and supervised chairside.

The target is 20 to 30 supervised placements across the five days, with 20 as the stated minimum. If you do not reach 20 during your cohort, you attend the next cohort at no additional course fee. Numbers depend on the patients screened and planned for your cohort, which is why cases are booked before you arrive.

Operator role is confirmed only after individual document review. Paying the reservation secures a seat; it does not authorise you to treat patients. Whether you operate depends on host-country rules, the clinic's approval and the insurance in place, assessed against your own registration documents. If clearance cannot be obtained despite complete and timely documents, you transfer to a later cohort or move to an observer pathway.

All three, and each one is logged separately. The week is built around cases you perform yourself under supervision. Between your own cases you assist and observe at the chair, which is where a good part of the pattern recognition comes from.

Then you do not do it. The supervising implantologist takes over or completes the step, and you assist. Nobody is pushed past their level to reach a number. The stop point is agreed in the morning briefing, before the case starts.

That case becomes a teaching case. You check the guide against the plan, decide whether it is a fit problem, a plan problem or a tissue problem, and either correct it or transfer the plan to a planned freehand approach. Knowing what to do when the guide is wrong is a stated part of the curriculum, not an accident.

Patients will be recruited, screened, imaged and planned by the host clinic before the cohort, with backup cases held in reserve. They consent to treatment within a supervised training programme. Case selection is clinical: a patient is only on the list if the indication stands on its own.

Madrid. Dates are announced on facility confirmation and are sent to reserved seats first. Applying now puts you in the review queue for the first cohort; you are told the dates before any balance is due.

Hotel accommodation for the course, breakfast and lunch on course days, all surgical materials and instruments, planning software access during the course, pre-course CBCT planning of your assigned cases, the daily briefing and debrief, and the take-home system. Flights, dinners outside the programme and personal expenses are not included.

The $1,500 reservation holds one of the fifteen seats and counts toward the $19,000 fee. It is non-refundable. After document review, the balance of $17,500 is due six weeks before the cohort, in one payment or as two payments of $8,750. Taxes are confirmed after review of your billing country and tax or VAT number.

Three of your own cases come back reviewed, you stay in the alumni WhatsApp group with the faculty for six months, and case-review support continues until your first five appropriately selected cases are completed. That is a support commitment. It is not a promise about clinical outcomes or about revenue.

The course is taught in English. You need CBCT access at home, in your own clinic or through an imaging centre, and a laptop for planning. Both a free planning path and a paid one are taught, so you can start without committing to a software subscription. Nothing has to be bought before the cohort.
