Decision Matters Dental Reviews 

What really makes this course extraordinary is that Snježana shares all her secrets and the exact techniques she performs in her daily practice, so you can start applying them right away when you return to work. She also encourages you to actually practice and apply all the techniques during the course, which makes the learning so much more effective. But after the course, she is supporting you any time in case of questions.

Today I am a general dentist that provides comprehensive surgical and sedation care at multiple offices and in multiple states. I provide full scope of care including standard all on x, remote anchorage all on x, hard and soft tissue grafting, etc.

I fix that which is broken and to my blessing this course was and is the foundation most of my modern practice is built upon. It is the perfect introduction to implantology of the modern age in 2026. There will never be an end to the learning that one can seek or the new techniques that are coming out but this course is central and quite comprehensive for anyone seeking to better themselves. It is worth the time, travel and cost. It will make you undoubtedly better than you are today. Even the alumni group is amazing, comprised of many experts in their own rights that deemed the course worth their time.

The course is quite comprehensive and requires time and preparation. You will be exposed and instructed on a variety of grafting techniques for both hard and soft tissue work. You will be exposed to dentin grafting and tunneling. You will be taught the different types of partial extraction therapy which is in my belief required for esthetic anterior implant therapy. You will be taught to be conservative and to preserve as much for the patient as possible.

Dr. Snjezana Pohl has blessed me beyond her understanding and I will forever be thankful.

Valuable information presented in a concise and detailed form . Information that can be applied almost immediately if you perform any type of dental surgery. The venue is fabulous- class room has a full view of the Adriatic!
Dr. Pohl’s 40 preparatory videos for the live course are a treasure on their own.
It’s a perfect blend of literature supported clinical procedures presented in a fabulous location!
A must for any dentist performing any type of surgery!

This Masterclass was an amazing experience. So much knowledge shared with true passion and charisma. The pre-course videos gave us the theoretical foundation to arrive fully prepared, and the in-person course delivered even more than I expected. Snjezana hides no details; she genuinely wants her colleagues to become better dentists.
I've attended other courses, but this, with its beautiful location Krk, evening trips, and the incredible team, was the perfect journey. I feel privileged to have gained such valuable knowledge so early in my career and I'm excited to apply it to create cases, happy patients and dentistry at the highest level. I also gained inspiration from amazing colleagues from all over the world with a truly international mindset.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!

This is THE course to take!

This is what every dental course should be.From the moment I made the initial contact to the moment I left the course, I felt like I was family being given a warm hug accompanied by delicious meals all while given an amazing amount of knowledge and skills. When was the last time you felt that about a course?!

Dr. Snjezana Pohl is a well know educator within Europe however she’s not as well known in the US. If you’re a dentist from the US don’t hesitate. Snjezana is MORE THAN worth the trip to Croatia. Whether you are a general dentist starting implant dentistry or a seasoned dentist comfortable with implantology, this course is for you. Almost everyone that took the Maxi Hybrid course expressed the feelings … it was worth every penny!!!
You will learn:
* Free gingival grafts & connective tissue grafts
* Partial extraction therapy (PET) & root submersion
* Lip stabilization & vestibuloplasty
* Tunneling for recession around implants and/or teeth (including VISTA technique)
* Buccal roll, buccal sliding palatal pedicle flaps, and mIVAN
* Crown lengthening and so much more!

After this course, you will see things differently. You will approach your cases differently. You’ll even go back and revise your cases because you know better now. You’ll deliver results you never knew you were capable of. You’ll learn skills you never knew were possible. You’ll learn tips and tricks that allow you to deliver results you’ve always wished you could.
The access to 40 educational videos before and after the course, the transfers to and from the airport, the accommodations, the meals, the daily excursion to different villages, the dancing party were all covered. All this was a well thought out design that allowed us to mingle, connect and build lasting friendships while gaining enough knowledge and skills to rival your local periodontists and oral surgeons. How freaking OUTSTANDING is that?!!!

I’m a general dentist who enjoys the surgical aspects of dentistry. I’m always looking to learn new techniques or add new skills. I enjoy meeting new friends. During my CE journeys I’ve been blessed to meet people that are comfortable feeling uncomfortable. They strive to do better and be better because they know they can. These are the friends you will meet in this course.
There are big downsides to this course though: You’ll deeply miss the people that you’ve connected with. You’ll treasure the memories of the trip and wish you could do it all over again. And finally, you will struggle to find another course that ever lives up to this standard.

If you think you can handle that, what are you waiting for? Go sign up!

Best CE I've ever taken and the most kind and helpful instructor + team. I love that I was able to take the online portion before so that I could review and familiarize myself and focus on hands-on when we are actually at the course. The whole team is very welcoming and the course is well-organized. Not a single minute wasted during the course, and I have learned so much. Absolute 200% recommended to anyone doing implant surgery

Absolutely wonderful training! People are authentic, knowledgeable, and fun! I loved it!

One of the absolute best CE experiences I've been a part of. Learned so much about the principles of hard and soft tissue grafting. I am currently in my Periodontics Residency and Dr. Pohl covered as much or even more about soft tissue grafting and would recommend this course to anyone!

One of the best CE experiences I've ever had. Loved the combination of online didactic and in-person hands on absolutely let me extract the most value out of my experience. Currently in Periodontics Resident and I can absolutely say Dr. Pohl did an absolutely amazing job of covering everything about soft tissue grafting and more! Dr. Pohl is still in contact with all her students and provides insight and her experience even after the course! A wonderful mentor and human being!

A Course That Truly Lives Up to Its Name

I had the pleasure of attending the Decision Matters course, and it exceeded every expectation I had going in.

Dr. Pohl is an outstanding expert in her field — the kind of educator who not only masters her subject but knows exactly how to pass that knowledge on. She explains complex concepts with remarkable clarity, backs everything up with real-world experience, and genuinely cares that every participant walks away more confident than when they arrived.

Just as impressive is the team she has around her. They're top-tier professionals and, on top of that, wonderful people to spend time with. That combination creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing cases, and learning openly.

What sets this course apart is its balance. It's the perfect blend of enjoyment, learning, and hands-on practical knowledge — you're never overwhelmed by theory, and you never feel like you're missing substance for the sake of fun. Every session leaves you with something you can apply the very next day in your own practice.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Decision Matters to anyone committed to growing and refining their skills. Whether you're early in your career or already experienced, you'll leave inspired, better equipped, and glad you signed up.

If you're on the fence — don't be. This is one course that genuinely makes a difference.
Hvala zauvijek mojoj dragoj doktorici Pohl!!

Wonderful course. Worth every minute. Snjezana and her team are heartwarming and extremly skilled and knowledgeable! Highly recommended

Every moment of this course is truly valuable, because in each one you can learn so much. I attend many educational programs, but there is nothing like this seminar—it's truly unique.

It was a truly exceptional course and an experience I will remember for a lifetime. It is rare to find clinicians who combine such a high level of knowledge and skill with the humility and generosity to openly share the finer details of their craft.

The course itself was outstanding, but the whole experience went far beyond education. The warmth of Snježana, her family, and the entire team made the stay in Croatia especially memorable.

James Taylor has a song called “Carolina in My Mind,” and I now understand that feeling whenever I think of Croatia. The landscapes, the atmosphere, and the whole experience have left a lasting impression on me. I enjoyed it so much that we are already planning to return to Krk next year for a vacation and clinical updates.

The best training I took so far 😄
I have learned so much and after the training we are still in touch if there are things that need to be discussed.
Professor Pohl is an excellent teacher and an amazing person 😍

very good & good community

I spent four days in beautiful Krk, Croatia, for this course. At the beginning, I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but my main goal was to improve and truly ‘conquer’ soft tissue techniques.
Working with Snježana Pohl and her wonderful team of doctors and tutors has really helped me achieve that. The hands-on training and guidance exceeded my expectations and gave me the confidence to bring these techniques back to my practice.

I didn’t get bored for even five minutes—this course is packed with learning and truly offers a wealth of hands-on experience. I’ve learned so much. Colleagues from all over the world gathered in Croatia, and I’m sure we’ll continue learning from each other. The social side was excellent, and Croatia itself is beautiful!

This course was completed September 2023, but I know several people who have done it since and the course seems to have improved year on year. There is ongoing support, in person and via a WhatsApp group.

It was a brilliant experience —I both learned a huge amount. I have never before taken part in such a practical and truly useful course. Thank you for the opportunity to visit Croatia and gain so much knowledge. I’m already ready to apply the techniques and share my progress. Snjezana has a wonderful way of teaching, supported by Drs Mia and Lucija, and the social side of the week was so thoughtfully organized. I feel like a gold card member of Decision Matters!

Although I am an experienced oral surgeon and teacher myself, I still benefited greatly from this course. All surgeons with some experience should attend—it offers a huge amount of valuable knowledge. Snježana is always ready to share openly from her expertise and experience. No time is wasted, as the theory is prepared in advance, allowing four full days with 95% focused on hands-on training. Highly recommended. Dr Stavros Eleftheriou, UK
