This course compares the "mini" (small-diameter) implant with conventional diameter implants. Diagnosis and treatment planning for conventional diameter vs. small diameter implants will be discussed in detail. Live clinical placement of small diameter and conventional implants by Gordon Christensen will be shown in close-up detail. Restoration of small diameter implants compared to conventional diameter implants will be demonstrated.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Define the differences in physical characteristics and techniques between small and conventional diameter implants
2. Discuss and describe the placement and restoration of small diameter implants
3. Implement small-diameter implants into practice
