In response to growing interest in dental implant restoration and surgical education, Pikos Institute proudly announces the completion of its inaugural Mastering Implant Dentistry Fundamentals (MIDF) program - an Implant 101 course designed for general dentists at the start of their implant journey. This four-part, CE-accredited training gives clinicians a clear, hands-on pathway to safely begin placing and restoring implants with confidence. The inaugural program concludes on May 17, 2025.
With registration now open for the August 2025 MIDF course, clinicians seeking foundational training in implant dentistry can apply now to learn directly from renowned oral surgeon Dr. Michael A. Pikos and a world-class faculty.
“The Master Implant Dentistry Fundamentals course is designed to simplify the implant learning curve,” said Dr. Pikos, Founder and CEO of Pikos Institute. “We walk clinicians through every step, from diagnostics to surgical protocols to final restoration, with practical tools they can use immediately.”
What the MIDF Course Offers
The MIDF course is a four-module, in-person experience designed to provide beginner dentists with a structured framework for success in dental implant restoration. Each module covers a core area of implant education:
-
Module 1: Surgical Extraction • Socket Graft • Single Implant Placement
-
Module 2: Multiple Implants • GBR • Compromised Sockets • L-PRF
-
Module 3: Soft Tissue Grafting • Provisionalization • Acellular Dermis Matrix
-
Module 4: Overdenture • Hygiene • Restoring Implants • Peri Implantitis
The course combines lectures, hands-on model training, faculty-led case reviews, and live surgical procedures. Attendees leave with the knowledge and experience needed to begin placing implants in their own practices with confidence and clarity. With topics ranging from socket grafting and implant placement to restorative workflows, soft tissue management, and peri-implantitis care, the MIDF course offers a comprehensive and practical education for general dentists ready to advance their skills.
“Implants are now something I'm incorporating into my office. And one of the main criteria for me was to go to a place where there's an elite group of faculty members and Dr. Pikos has an expert group of faculty members. They're well known in their specialized areas, and it's just been an amazing result. The content is great, the presentations are top tier, and just everything you walk away from here you can implement in your practice in the next few days.” - Dr. Michael Drone, Maxillofacial Prosthodontist
Trusted Education from a Global Leader
With over 7,000 alumni across 67 countries, Pikos Institute has earned a global reputation for high-quality dental implant education. The Mastering Implant Dentistry Fundamentals course continues that tradition by focusing on clinicians just beginning their implant journeys - helping them master fundamentals that form the backbone of successful outcomes.
Delivered at the Pikos Institute’s Trinity, Florida campus, the course blends real-world application with direct mentorship from leading experts in oral surgery, prosthodontics, and restorative dentistry.
“One lecture piggybacks onto the next, so the sequence is very easy to follow along. For somebody who has little to no experience with implants, this was a wonderful place for me to start. Dr. Pikos and all the instructors are wonderful. Wonderful experience, start to finish.” - Dr. Nathan Locky, General Dentist
Expanding Access to Implant Education
In addition to live, in-person training, Pikos Institute continues to expand its reach through a growing catalog of online courses. These programs allow clinicians around the world to benefit from the Institute’s expertise and protocols on their own time - offering flexibility without compromising clinical rigor.
“All the instructors were very informative and it's very personal. Any questions we asked, they immediately stopped and answered the questions. I have never done implants or bone grafting, so everything was very straightforward, building on each other. It’s very practical, everyday information that I can use and take back to my practice. Once I finish all of them, I feel I'll have no issues placing implants.” – Dr. Will Jones, General Dentist
Enroll in the August 2025 MIDF Course
