Hinman BOOTH No. 844 Focus on women who inspired and guided career choice The Misch International Implant Institute and Glidewell Laboratories have established a partnership in continuing education that will introduce the Hahn™ Tapered Implant as the exclusive dental implant system used in the institute’s courses. As part of this col- laboration, the Misch Institute will relocate its West Coast programs to the Glidewell International Technology Center in Newport Beach, Calif. Since its inception in 1984, the Misch Institute has aimed to be at the leading edge of education in implant dentistry, training more than 10,000 den- tists to surgically place implants. The institute was founded by Dr. Carl Misch, a practitioner and edu- cator who authored the widely used textbook “Con- temporary Implant Dentistry.” Offering a one-year continuum in implant education, the Misch Institute has strived to elevate the standard of care through its ground-breaking cours- es, which were the first to offer supervised, hands-on training outside of postgraduate specialty programs. Hahn Tapered Implant a ‘great fit’ Glidewell Laboratories launched the Hahn Tapered Implant in 2015 in cooperation with clinician and innovator Dr. Jack Hahn, who oversaw the develop- ment of the new implant system. As recently noted by Dr. Misch, “the Hahn Tapered Implant is a great fit for the institute, as its design is based on Dr. Hahn’s Misch courses to use Hahn Tapered Implant exclusively Glidewell Laboratories and Misch International Implant Institute create educational partnership Hinman BOOTH NO. 1712 ” PARTNERSHIP, page A11
