SGE 3-Day Master Class · Chennai · 13–15 November 2026

If freehand works in your hands, guided should earn its place.

You already know how to place implants.
This programme is about understanding where digital planning and guided workflows can add another layer of pre-operative validation, prosthetic control and predictable transfer — without replacing the clinical judgement of the surgeon.

UNDERSTAND THE PLANNING.
CONTROL THE WORKFLOW.
EXECUTE WITH CONFIDENCE.

Why Guided?

You already know how to place implants. So what does guided actually add?

Experienced surgeons do not need technology simply because it exists.
Guided implantology becomes valuable when it helps you make, inspect and validate critical decisions before clinical execution.

Your Clinical Judgement

  • surgical experience
  • anatomical understanding
  • tactile judgement
  • case selection
  • intra-operative decision-making

Another Layer of Control

  • visualise implant position against the restorative objective
  • review anatomy and available bone before surgery
  • evaluate trajectory, access and restorative space
  • validate the plan before transferring it clinically
  • reproduce a planned position more consistently when the case benefits from guidance

The guide is not the intelligence.
The decisions behind it are.

Guided surgery is not necessary for every implant case.
The objective is to understand where it adds value, where it adds complexity, and how to make that decision intelligently.

Your Starting Point

Different starting points. One workflow to understand.

I ALREADY PLACE IMPLANTS CONVENTIONALLY

Freehand works for me. Where does guided genuinely add value?

The programme helps you understand how planning, validation and controlled transfer can complement your existing surgical experience — and when the additional workflow is clinically worthwhile.

VALIDATE → EXECUTE
Your surgical judgement stays central.

I WANT TO START USING GUIDED WORKFLOWS

I see the potential, but I don't know the correct way to begin.

ACQUIRE → PLAN → VALIDATE

I ALREADY USE SURGICAL GUIDES

I want to understand why guided cases can still go wrong.

VALIDATE → DESIGN → EXECUTE → REVIEW

Connected Workflow

Guided implantology is a workflow — not a single step.

01Acquire

CBCT + IOS / STL

02Plan

Anatomy + prosthetic objective + implant position

03Validate

Bone · vital structures · restorative space · trajectory · access

Planning creates the proposal. Validation creates confidence.

04Design

Guide support · seating · sleeve strategy · workflow

05Execute

Transfer the validated plan clinically

06Review

Surgical + restorative result

ACQUIRE → PLAN → VALIDATE → DESIGN → EXECUTE → REVIEW
The guide is only one part of that chain.

What Can Go Wrong?

A surgical guide can fit — and the workflow can still be wrong.

  • Data can be wrong
  • Plan can be wrong
  • Validation can be incomplete
  • Guide strategy can be wrong
  • Guide can seat incorrectly
  • Clinician can trust the digital output too much

Guided surgery becomes safer and more useful when you know what to question.

The goal is not blind confidence in digital workflows.
It is the judgement to: review → challenge → validate

Learning Outcomes

What should change in the way you approach a guided case after these three days?

UNDERSTAND THE DATA

READ THE PLAN — NOT JUST VIEW IT

VALIDATE BEFORE YOU EXECUTE

RECOGNISE COMMON FAILURE POINTS

KNOW WHEN GUIDED ADDS VALUE

TAKE GREATER CONTROL OF THE WORKFLOW

You do not need to do every technical step yourself.
You should understand enough to know what you are accepting.

Software Is a Tool

The software can show you the plan. It cannot take responsibility for the decision.

Anatomy · Prosthetic objective · Trajectory & access · Guide strategy · Clinical reality

Software helps you see more.
Clinical judgement decides what you do with it.

Real Clinical Proof

Don't just take the workflow on trust. See the decisions behind it.

Diagnostic data → Implant plan → Validation → Guide strategy → Clinical transfer → ReviewRepresentative workflow examples from previous guided cases

CBCT cross-sections, axial slice, 3D reconstruction and panoramic curve of the mandible with the nerve canal traced, before implant planning

Diagnostic data

What it showsCBCT sections, panoramic curve and 3D reconstruction, with the nerve canal traced — before any implant is placed.The decisionWhat the anatomy allows, and where its limits are.Why it mattersEvery later step inherits this data.

Implant plan

What it showsImplant positions planned against the prosthetic set-up and the traced nerve canal.The decisionWhere each implant goes — restoration first, anatomy respected.Why it mattersA position that looks right in one view can conflict in another.

Validation

What it showsThe sleeve and drill path checked inside the plan, before the guide is released.The decisionIs the planned path clear, accessible and safe to transfer?Why it mattersProblems found here are corrected before surgery, not during it.

Guide strategy

What it showsThe guide body assessed over the scan — where it rests and how it is supported.The decisionThe support and seating strategy for this case.Why it mattersA guide that can rock or mis-seat transfers the error, not the plan.

Clinical transfer

What it showsA printed guide with its metal sleeves, seated on a printed model. Shown on the model — not in surgery.The decisionThe guide carries the validated plan to the patient.Why it mattersA precise guide cannot correct an unvalidated plan.

Review

Compare the intended plan with the surgical and restorative result, and identify where the workflow followed — or deviated from — the plan.
Your Mentor

Learn the workflow from someone who works inside it.

Sudeep Paul has spent more than 18 years in digital implantology, guided workflows, surgical planning and full-arch rehabilitation. Across a wide range of cases and multiple planning systems, one lesson held: technology is useful only when the clinician knows what to ask of it. As a BlueSkyPlan Key Opinion Leader (KOL), he has mentored clinicians on digital planning workflows.

“My objective is not to make you dependent on a planner or a software operator. It is to help you understand the workflow deeply enough to question it, validate it and control the decisions that matter.”
— Sudeep Paul

The Experience

Three days to see the workflow, question it and understand the decisions behind it.

SEE · QUESTION · WORK THROUGH · DISCUSS

DAY 1 — Foundations → Decision-Making → Single Implant Planning → Guide Design
DAY 2 — Treatment Planning Mastery → Full-Arch Case Management
DAY 3 — Drill → Guide → Live Printing

The objective is not to leave with more screenshots.
It is to leave with a better way to think through the case.

The Investment

Three days. One connected implant workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started

The programme does not replace existing surgical judgement. It helps clinicians understand where planning, validation and guided transfer add meaningful control — and where they may not be necessary.

No. It is designed for clinicians who already place implants, or who are ready to bring guided workflows into their practice. The focus is planning, validation and guided-workflow decisions rather than introductory implant surgery.

No. Software is taught as logic, not menus. The focus is the clinical judgment that precedes any software — prosthetic vision, position logic, validation. The tool is the last thing, not the first.

No — adaptability across planning systems is a core principle.

The programme helps you understand why guided cases can still go wrong — data, planning, validation, guide strategy and seating — and how to review each step before execution.

Yes — Day 1 includes hands-on single-implant planning through surgical-guide design.

Yes. Day 1 includes hands-on single-implant planning, progressing through surgical-guide design. Day 3 focuses on drilling and guided instrumentation, the surgical-guide workflow, guide-related execution principles and live 3D printing.

The venue is Park Elanza Chennai, 125, Valluvar Kottam High Rd, Ponnangipuram, Nungambakkam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600034. Final logistics will be shared with confirmed participants.
