This hybrid full arch course is a comprehensive master course that includes 4 days in-person education, with an introductory online session. The overarching focus is a minimally invasive approach into full arch implant dentistry that is a patient centric, and biologically driven solution.
The 8 intensive course modules are comprised of lectures and hands-on exercises that complement each module. Medical and systemic patient evaluation is covered in detail. Virtual treatment planning utilizing advanced digital workflows, to determine predictable treatment option for the patient, is one of the many topics discussed along with surgical techniques and tools required for execution of minimally invasive full arch surgery.
At the end of the course, attendees will have learned a step-by-step protocol from start to finish, how to successfully treatment plan and perform minimally invasive FP1 and FP3 treatment, while achieving exceptional restorative and esthetic outcomes.
