This unique, interactive, three-day program is designed to further your understanding of the importance of periodontology in all phases of dental care. A comprehensive approach toward examination, diagnosis, etiology, treatment planning, clinical management and surgical intervention in daily clinical practice will be presented.
You will have the opportunity to further develop surgical clinical skills through hands-on exercises on dental models. Advanced Suturing Techniques, Various Flap Designs, Guided Bone Regeneration, Mucogingival Surgery, and Esthetic Periodontal Surgery will all be presented in detail.
Join us at NYU, Linhart Continuing Dental Education Program, for what we know will be a stimulating journey into the world of comprehensive periodontal care.

UPCOMING 2024 COURSES
As a recent graduate, I am glad I invested in attending Dr.Sonick’s seminars. It was not only comprehensive but a lot of fun. The best part was how he invested in my knowledge and took interest in my questions, even months after the actual course. He wanted to understand my perspective. He is one of the most cordial individuals I have ever met. I have attended two courses and both were fun, but more importantly, I obtained an insight into treatment planning and protocols that vastly expanded my dental universe. I will be back again
