Core Curriculum Overview

Transform Your Full-Arch Skills in the Surgical Capital of Brazil With The Credibility of The Pikos Institute

Join the Pikos Institute for a rare, immersive clinical experience at the state-of-the-art ILAPEO training facility in Curitiba, Brazil—home of Neodent.

Neodent has a strong partnership with ILAPEO, the Latin American Institute of Dental Research and Education, an internationally renowned center of excellence in research and continued education in dental clinical practice.

This 4-day, one-on-one full-arch surgical training program is designed exclusively for 20 advanced clinicians ready to elevate their immediate loading techniques through real-world surgical application.

Guided by Dr. Michael Pikos, the Pikos Institute Faculty and the ILAPEO faculty, each participant will perform two full-arch implant surgeries as lead surgeon and assist in two additional cases. You will plan, execute, and restore cases using cutting-edge tools including Smilecloud digital diagnostics, photogrammetry, 3D printed prototype evaluation, and real-time chairside conversion protocols.

The week includes didactic sessions, model-based simulation, a live surgical demonstration by Neodent founder Dr. Geninho Thomé, and four patient surgeries per clinician—offering a level of hands-on learning that is unmatched in the field. All surgeries will be supervised by master faculty to ensure clinical precision and case success.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Curitiba, the experience includes a welcome dinner, factory tour of Neodent, and curated hospitality to make your stay seamless and inspiring.

If you’re an experienced implant surgeon looking to refine your full-arch protocol, expand your digital workflow skills, and return home with real surgical cases under your belt—this is your moment.
