The
Implant Restoration
Hands-On Masterclass

2-day Didactic & Hands-On Workshop

Description:

This comprehensive 2-day program is designed for dental professionals seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge in full arch implant restorations for edentulous patients. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the diagnostic process, treatment planning, and various restorative options available for full arch solutions. The course covers a wide range of topics, including implant-retained overdentures, implant-supported bar overdentures, fixed full-arch prostheses, and segmented implant-supported fixed dental prostheses.

Attendees will learn how to effectively present treatment options to patients, considering factors such as the number of implants, prosthetic space, occlusal vertical dimension, lip support, and aesthetic considerations. The program explores both conventional and digital denture workflows, as well as various abutment types and their respective restorative workflows.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with full arch implant-supported fixed prostheses, including temporaries, abutment-level and implant-level restorations, final impressions, passive fit assessment, and verification jigs. The course also covers material selection, prostheses insertion protocols, occlusion principles, and troubleshooting common complications.

By the end of this program, attendees will have acquired the skills and confidence to diagnose, plan, and execute full arch implant restorations, ultimately improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
