The DIA method
You cannot build surgical
confidence from the sidelines.
Knowing the sequence is a start. Repeating it with a supervisor beside you is how you begin to make it your own. Every case connects planning, doing and understanding.
Your hands. Your repetitions.
Work through supervised live-patient procedures. Your personal placement count records the implants you place, not those you watch or assist.
Review. Refine. Repeat.
Get feedback while the case is fresh. Discuss what went well, what needs attention and what you will carry into the next procedure.
Planned always. Guided or freehand with judgment. Learn when a guide adds control and when a planned freehand approach is appropriate.
Progress is individual. Case selection, readiness and patient safety come before any placement count. The programme is designed for dentists beginning implant surgery.

- CBCT interpretation and patient assessment
- Restoratively driven implant positioning
- Guided and planned freehand workflows
- Incisions, flap handling and suturing
- Single and multiple implant placement
- Immediate or delayed placement when appropriate
- Foundation-level risk recognition and escalation
- Postoperative instructions and case documentation

- Presenting cases to patients
Your week in Brazil
Five days built
around doing.
An indicative learning sequence. Patient needs, case suitability and your readiness determine the clinical schedule.
Get ready to use your chair time.
Pre-course preparation, an individual experience assessment and an equipment/workflow orientation. Arrive the day before clinical training begins.
Build the foundation.
Clinical orientation, case planning and your first supervised procedures. Establish a controlled sequence from setup to suturing.
Repeat with intention.
Continue appropriate live-patient cases. Use direct feedback to improve positioning, instrument handling and the flow of the procedure.
Connect the plan to the anatomy.
Work through a suitable mix of cases. Discuss the reasons for guided or freehand placement and the decisions made during surgery.
Strengthen your judgment.
Further supervised surgery, case-selection discussions and recognition of situations that require a change of plan or a more experienced operator.
Finish with a plan for home.
Complete scheduled clinical work, review your placement log and feedback, and map your first steps with 12 months of DIA support.
Every clinical day: case briefing → supervised surgery → documented feedback → group debrief.
The course ends. The support continues.
Your next case
is not a solo journey.
Return with more than a course folder. Know what to prepare, which cases to bring for review and where to ask for help as you introduce implant surgery into your practice.

Revenue is not profit. This excludes clinical costs, overhead, taxes and the course fee. It assumes all entered cases are appropriate, accepted and completed. This is a planning illustration, not a prediction or earnings guarantee.
A commitment to your repetitions
20 placements.
A clear backstop.
Minimum 20 implants
personally placed.
The Brazil programme is designed around a minimum of 20 supervised live-patient placements per approved clinical participant. Assisting and observing do not count toward your personal minimum.
Under 20,
come back free.
If you complete the clinical programme and do not reach 20 placements, DIA will offer attendance at a further available cohort without an additional course fee.
Still unsure? Come back free (once).
If, after completing the programme, you do not feel ready to place an appropriately selected implant, attend the next available cohort once at no additional tuition fee. Mentorship and case-planning support continue for 12 months.
Clinical participation requires individual approval and confirmed host-clinic arrangements. Patient suitability and safety always take priority. A repeat cohort covers tuition only; repeat travel, accommodation, meals and transfers are separate. The readiness promise is educational support, not a license, certification or guarantee of independent competence. Full enrollment terms will be provided before payment. Read programme information.

Straight
answers.
Clarity is part of the experience.
Is this suitable if I have never placed an implant?
Yes. This is the beginner programme for qualified dentists starting implant surgery. Preparation, case selection and supervision are central. Your individual clinical role still requires review and approval.
Will I actually operate, or mostly observe?
The programme commitment is a minimum of 20 implants personally placed under supervision by each approved clinical participant. Cases you observe or assist do not count toward that minimum. You also learn through the group’s debriefs.
Where and when does the course take place?
In Brazil. The city, clinic and dates have not yet been finalized. They will be confirmed before enrollment opens. Waitlist members will receive those details before deciding whether to proceed.
Who will teach the programme?
DIA faculty will lead the programme. Additional faculty and the host clinical team are being arranged. The confirmed instructor profiles, clinical supervision arrangements and venue will be shared before enrollment.
Can an internationally licensed dentist treat patients?
A course place alone does not authorize patient treatment. Participation will depend on your professional documents, applicable Brazilian requirements, host-clinic approval and appropriate insurance. These arrangements are still being finalized. We are only accepting waitlist enquiries at this stage.
What happens if I do not reach 20 placements?
If you complete the clinical programme and finish below 20 placements, DIA will offer a further available cohort at no additional course fee. Travel, accommodation, meals and transfers for that return visit are separate. Patient needs and safety take priority over the count.
Are accommodation, food and transfers included?
Yes: six nights’ accommodation, breakfast/lunch/dinner on the five training days, and transport between the accommodation and clinic. Flights, airport transfers, visas, insurance and personal expenses are separate. Details will be provided with the confirmed programme.
What if I still do not feel ready to place implants after the programme?
If you complete the programme and do not feel ready to begin appropriately selected cases, attend the next available cohort once at no additional tuition fee. Mentorship and case-planning support continue for 12 months. Repeat travel, accommodation, meals and transfers are separate. This educational support does not grant a license or certify independent competence. See the programme terms.
What support do I get when I return home?
12 months of mentorship for planning and implementation, reviews of your first 15 suitable home cases during that period, and the equipment/workflow blueprint. The Ready-to-Place Guarantee includes educational mentorship and case-planning support for 12 months. Remote case review is educational support and does not transfer responsibility for patient care.
What happens after the six included months of membership?
You can choose to continue DIA membership. There is no automatic enrollment or renewal. Your included mentorship and 15 home-case reviews remain available for the full 12-month mentorship period, even if you do not renew membership after six months. Membership renewal is not required to receive this included support.
Does membership guarantee patients or reference-clinic status?
No. DIA is developing patient-education content and a member-clinic referral pathway. Listings and reference-clinic status require professional verification and DIA standards. Referral availability depends on the network launch, location and patient fit; patient volume and revenue are not guaranteed.
Will I receive accredited CE credits?
No accredited CE-hour claim is currently made for this programme. Any confirmed accreditation or certificate arrangements will be provided in the enrollment information. Course participation does not confer a specialist title or a license to practise.
Does joining the waitlist commit me to anything?
No. It is a request for information about the next Brazil programme. No payment, reservation or membership subscription is created. You can ask to leave the waitlist at any time.
