The internationally acclaimed Pikos Institute, a global leader in advanced dental implant education, is proud to announce the launch of two powerhouse clinical events for 2026, officially unveiled during this year’s prestigious Pikos Symposium. Renowned for advancing clinical excellence through real-world learning, surgical innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the Institute continues to shape the future of implant dentistry education with programs designed to equip clinicians with practical skills, evidence-based strategies, and confidence in managing even the most complex cases.
NEW FOR 2026: Full Arch Complications – A 360° Global Summit
May 15–16, 2026 | Pikos Institute, Trinity, Florida
Launching in 2026, this groundbreaking 2-day summit is the first of its kind to focus exclusively on complications in full arch implant rehabilitation—from surgical planning to prosthetic execution. With the theme “Real Cases. Real Complications. Real Solutions.”, the course fosters open dialogue around clinical setbacks and the decision-making that follows, helping clinicians learn from complications rather than simply avoid them.
Key Focus Areas:
- Complex full arch failures and misdiagnoses
- Biological and mechanical complications in zygomatic and all-on-X workflows
- Cross-disciplinary recovery strategies including surgical revisions, grafting, and prosthetic redesign
Attendees will gain rare insight from top-tier global faculty as they share real patient outcomes, discuss common pitfalls, and present data-driven correction protocols. Whether you are a seasoned implant surgeon or an emerging clinician, this event will deepen your understanding of complication management and elevate your clinical decision-making.
FLAGSHIP EVENT: Hard and Soft Tissue Grafting for Optimal Implant Reconstructions
September 24–26, 2026 | Pikos Institute, Trinity, Florida
Returning as a cornerstone of the Pikos curriculum, this 3-day immersive course remains the gold standard in advanced grafting education. With a comprehensive focus on both hard and soft tissue techniques, this program explores the latest evidence-based protocols for achieving predictable, esthetic, and long-lasting implant outcomes.
Topics and Highlights Include:
- Comprehensive grafting procedures from extraction site to final restoration
- Ridge preservation and augmentation strategies
- Advanced flap design and suturing techniques
- Soft tissue enhancement for esthetics and peri-implant health
- Step-by-step surgical demonstrations and hands-on simulation
- Decision-making trees for simultaneous vs. staged implant placement
Because many implant complications stem from inadequate site development, this course emphasizes proactive strategies to optimize tissue architecture before complications arise. Participants will leave with the skills and confidence to deliver superior results in even the most challenging cases.
A Continuing Commitment to Clinical Excellence
“Each of these events reflects our unwavering mission: to provide real-world, high-impact education that drives clinical excellence,” said Dr. Michael A. Pikos, Founder and CEO of Pikos Institute. “Dentists face real complications every day, and our goal is to create a space where we can tackle those issues head-on—honestly, transparently, and academically. We’re not just teaching success—we’re teaching resilience, recovery, and results.”
Registration & Additional Details
Both events will be held at the state-of-the-art Pikos Institute Learning Center in Trinity, Florida. Seating is limited, and early registration is strongly recommended due to high demand.
