Course Catalog
The Kois Center is a leader in dental continuing education programs. Our courses are taught almost exclusively by Dr. John C Kois and delivers the latest advances in esthetics, implants and restorative dentistry. All dental professionals, including general dentists, specialists, lab technicians and dental staff, can benefit from our program. We focus on creating connections with smaller class sizes and a supportive, highly interactive learning environment. Courses are offered in-person or virtually.
Courses
Our graduate program for practicing dentists will expand knowledge and application skills in restorative dentistry through our comprehensive curriculum. Topics include treatment planning, functional occlusion, restorative/periodontal interface, biomechanics, implants, and advanced treatment planning. Once students complete the Kois Center curriculum they become Graduates of the Center.
This course is designed to focus on the four essential components in the decision making process: esthetics, function, periodontology and biomechanics.
Understanding the role occlusion plays relating to wear, mobility, TMD, stability, and restorative failure is critical. This course will provide a hands-on workshop for facebow management and jaw relation records following deprogramming.
- 103: Treatment Planning: Diagnostically Driven
- 153: Functional Occlusion: Science Driven Management
Complete Treatment Planning I & Functional Occlusion I in a condensed 5-day format rather than the single course 3-day format. See Course I and Course II descriptions for further overview.
Understanding the dental gingival complex is critical for predictable management of the soft tissue. Discover why some anterior crown margins become exposed while others stay stable for years.
- 173: Restorative/Periodontal Interface: Managing the Restorative/Periodontal Interface
- 303: Advanced Functional Occlusion: Complex Restorative Management
Combined 173 and 303 Predictable Periodontal Tissue Management Predictable management of soft and hard tissues is a critical component of successful restorative dentistry. Many times we are faced with unanticipated clinical challenges: black triangles between restored teeth, chronically inflamed tissues over a crown or sudden gingival recession after a crown preparation.
In Biomechanics, Dr. Kois shares independent research and evidence based guidelines to understand caries detection, removal and prevention; the modes and etiology of tooth structure loss; tooth preparation and design principles utilizing proven dental materials and specific protocols for their use and important laboratory protocols to achieve predictable results.
Biologic Principles in Advanced Functional Occlusion Understanding the biologic principles involved in developing a functional occlusion is vital to achieving predictable long-term restorative success. Traditionally, occlusion courses have centered on condylar position, muscle tension and gnathologic concepts such as canine guidance and mutual protection. The interpretations of these different schools [...]
The use of implants in general practice has created both new levels of excitement and frustration. This course will dispel the “hype”, which is not brand specific, and will focus on what is critical for predictable success. This course presents a step-by-step approach to restoring the challenging edentulous and partially edentulous patient.
This course is a unique interactive program designed to implement the thought process necessary in creating systematic treatment plans and facilitate complex restorative treatment.
Our courses are designed to fully immerse and improve your knowledge and skills with topics like Digital Dentistry, Health and Wellness and Esthetics. Continue your dental education and earn credits by picking and choosing the electives you’d like to take. Electives are available as in-person or digital courses.
Esthetics
This participatory course will focus on the diagnostic mock up and assist the participant in making the transition from the design phase to the clinical application of a proposed treatment plan in simple to complex cases.
Digital Dentistry
This course is targeted at linking dental disease with dental prescribing - understanding the intricate details of decision-making of drugs and their applications within the dental scope.
Health & Wellness
The Digital Smile Design is a three-day course that consists of lectures, live patient demonstrations, and hands-on workshops with Dr. Christian Coachman.
Focused lectures, clinical case studies, practice growth videos and staff training. Our on-demand courses mean you can learn whenever or wherever you are in the world. Earn CE credits and enhance your dental knowledge and skills, improve your practice, and stay up-to-date with these courses.
