Description:

Treating the fully edentulous patient can be one of the most rewarding endeavors in clinical dentistry. At the same time, it can be one of the most intimidating endeavors from a treatment planning and execution perspective. In this course, we will explore and simplify the principles that will lead to both surgical and prosthetic success for treating these patients with three different prosthetic solutions: digital complete dentures, digital over-dentures, and digital fixed hybrid solutions. The planning concepts, along with their accompanying clinical applications, will be discussed to help facilitate the daily implementation in practice.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

1. Understand how to simplify clinical protocols to achieve great predictability with digital dentures.
2. Become familiar with the varied nuances relative to overdentures and how the digital workflow can benefit the practice.
3. Review full arch implant planning and execution protocols to achieve prosthetic and surgical success.
