Full Arch Implant Rehabilitation : A Live Patient Course
The full-arch implant rehabilitation concept is a multi-procedural approach. The concept employs four or more implants to be utilized. Screw-retained or cementretained prosthesis could be the definitive prostheses. The treatment plan depends on bone condition, anatomical limitations, surgical procedures, and restorative options. Thanks to the tilted implant concept 4 and more implants could give enough support for immediate loading and long-term outcome for full arch rehabilitation. This treatment modality is designed for patients seeking to maximize chair-side efficiency through a single-day prosthetic solution for their oral restoration needs. The next option will be 6 to 8 implant to restore the entire arch with implant
supported restorations.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
Attendees will learn how to:
- Plan patient selection, review indications and contraindications
- Understand what kind of pre-treatment procedures will be required.
- Evaluate surgical protocols and anatomical considerations.
- Understand laboratory procedures prior, during and after surgery for interim prostheses and immediate loading, if needed.
- Decide on the definitive prosthesis from design to material selection.
