FAQ About Our Implantology Courses
The Q-Implant Marathon provides a forum to doctors, allowing them to gain critical implantology experience which in turn, benefits the future patients who can expect much improved quality care and service.
Since it began, the courses have gained global recognition, with more than 150 sessions organized. Under the motto, “Learning by Doing”, these courses have led to the placement of over 100,000 implants, helping over 25,000 patients.
Trinon courses are conducted by experienced international and domestic surgeons providing advice and assistance as participants perform difficult surgeries, from basic sinus elevations to complicated grafting cases.
There are 3 skill levels available in which participants, grouped in pairs, can expect to undergo 60+ hours of practical surgery to gain experience and apply learned theoretical concepts on implantology.
Level 1: Implant Placement
Participants are guaranteed to perform 30 Implants in 5 days, with cases ranging from Standard to Moderately-complicated, all supervised and assisted by experienced implantologists, thereby providing practical experience.
Level 2: Sinus Elevations
Participants are guaranteed to perform 5 Sinus Lifts in 5 days under the supervision and assistance of experienced instructors. Apart from this, various techniques and procedures such as Bone Augmentation and Effective Management of Complications due to Implant Surgery will also be discussed.
Level 3: Demanding Cases
Participants are required to treat a number of demanding cases at this level. These include those involving Highly Atrophic Bone, Comprehensive Bone Augmentation, using Titanium Mesh, to name a few.
Continuing education focused on Dental Implantology has been theoretical at most. From an educational viewpoint, the subject is not given much attention and as such, specializing in this area can prove to be a time consuming endeavor. Further complicating this is the fact that most programs on implantology rarely provide participants with practical experience by working directly on patients, leaving them unable to cope with real life situations
Trinon Collegium Practicum (TCP) challenges this by offering engaging practice-oriented courses such as the Q-Implant Marathon, accredited by the General Academy of Dentistry who approved and provided that upon completion of said course, all participants are entitled to receive 60 Continuing Education Hours.
The Q-Implant Marathon sessions are held in:
1.Dominican Republic
2.Cambodia
3. Laos
Each location holds 4-8 sessions a year. For more information regarding the dates and specific locations, please contact us at Implantology Courses.

Moreover, participants should familiarize themselves with the Q-Method, including the time period allotment the course requires to avoid conflicts in schedule.

Finally, one (1) set of scrubs for each participant shall be provided so it is recommended that participants bring extra sets in case something unexpected occurs
Our foundation in Santo Domingo arranges patients for each course with around 300+ patients treated.
The operations are all free of charge and performed with the highest quality care and concern for the welfare of the patient.
Regular follow-ups are provided by our clinic or, if preferred, by outside clinics.
The first Q-Implant Marathon was held in Santa Clara, Cuba in December of 2003. The core principles of this course stemmed from the belief that doctors should have the opportunity to quickly gain in-depth experience in implantology through direct patient interaction. Trinon Collegium Practicum founders understood that there was a lack of practical educational seminars for doctors who wished to become proficient in the placement of implants.
Since then, we have organized more than 150 courses across three nations, with over 3,000 dentists trained and given first hand practical experience on Implantology Surgery. This has yielded some 100,000+ implants placed on patients from the local areas.
