Our Journey: A Legacy of Excellence

Implant Marathon was founded over two decades ago by a team of visionary dental educators determined to offer a course that went beyond traditional lecture-based learning. Recognizing that true surgical proficiency is built through hands-on experience, our founders established a program where every participant could become the primary surgeon and directly engage in live patient treatments.


Milestones Along the Way

  • 2003 – The Inception: The implant marathon concept was born out of the need for a more practical and effective approach to implant training. By combining live patient cases with expert mentorship, we set a new standard in dental education.
  • Over 20 Years of Experience: Our commitment to quality training has remained unwavering. With over 20 years of experience, Implant Marathon has refined its curriculum to deliver a balanced blend of theory and practice.
  • Global Reach: Over the years, we have organized more than 200 training sessions across multiple locations worldwide. Our sessions in diverse environments—from the vibrant energy of Brazil to the rich cultural backdrop of Cambodia—have broadened our participants’ perspectives and enriched their clinical experiences.
  • Proven Results: To date, our program has trained over 3,700 dentists and has facilitated the placement of more than 130,000 implants. These numbers reflect not only the scale of our operations but also the trust that dental professionals place in our training.

Our Philosophy: Learning by Doing

At the core of Implant Marathon lies a simple but powerful philosophy: learning by doing. We firmly believe that the most effective way to master implant dentistry is through direct, hands-on experience. This approach distinguishes us from other courses that rely heavily on theory and simulated models.
 

Hands-On, Live Patient Experience

In our courses, you will perform live implant surgeries under the careful supervision of expert instructors. This is not a course where you observe and take notes—the Implant Marathon is designed so that every participant is actively involved in the entire treatment process. From pre-operative planning to post-operative care, you will gain firsthand experience that is immediately applicable in your practice.
 

Guaranteed Surgical Cases

One of the unique features of Implant Marathon is our guarantee: every participant will have the opportunity to perform a set number of implant placements during the five-day course. This assurance means you walk away not just with theoretical knowledge but with a proven track record of successful cases, boosting both your confidence and your clinical competency.


A Curriculum Tailored to You

Our program is structured into three distinct levels to cater to different skill sets:
Level 1 – Implant Placement: Perfect for beginners and those new to implant surgery, this level focuses on the fundamentals. You will perform up to 30 implant placements over five days, mastering essential techniques and treatment planning.
Level 2 – Sinus Lift & Advanced Surgery: For practitioners with some implant experience, this module delves into more complex procedures such as sinus lifts and ridge splitting. You will learn advanced techniques and manage cases that require intricate surgical skills.
Level 3 – Complex Grafting and Demanding Cases: Aimed at the most experienced clinicians, this level covers challenging cases including block and onlay grafting, titanium mesh reconstruction, and other advanced grafting procedures. Here, you refine your skills to tackle the most complex implant scenarios.
