Immediate loading on full and partial arches is something that many implant dentists want to learn. There are many good courses out there that teach this, but most teach the approach where a fixed denture is made by removing bone on the ridge rather than preserving the hard and soft tissue. Many dentists are uncomfortable with this approach as it goes against their natural instinct to preserve and augment bone and soft tissue rather than remove it.

This course will aim to show that there is another approach to full-arch prosthetics-one where hard and soft tissue are preserved and augmented, and the patient has a bridge that does not look like a fixed denture.

The many steps involved, which include diagnosis, treatment planning, digital smile design, guided surgery, guided bone regeneration, soft tissue manipulation, intra-oral welding, provisional prosthetic design, and final prosthetic design that allow delivery of an all-white prosthesis. Both digital and analogue workflows will be discussed.
