Full Arch Implant Prosthetics (Coventry) 21st July 2023

This course is intended for those dentists who are looking to begin their journey in restoring full arch dental implants

or those who are already involved in full arch work and are looking for a comprehensive course to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of

the clinical and technical aspects involved in the prosthetic rehabilitation of these patients.

The course will cover the importance of careful case selection and how to avoid the common pit falls that often accompany full arch prosthetics when poorly executed.

This will include treatment protocols and clinical processes to ensure accurate full arch impressions, passive fit, the importance of restorative space and how this relates to material selection as well as appropriate prosthetic designs to ensure that adequate long-term maintenance is possible.

This course will cover and emphasise:

• The importance of careful patient selection with full arch implant work
• The importance of assessment and planning in selecting patient and delivering care
• The importance of restorative space and how this impacts material selection and bridge design
• How the opposing dentition and parafunctional habits may impact your choice of restoration
• The importance of the transition zone and understand how to assess those patient who are “high risk”
• Why quad zygomatic or pterygoid implants have different requirements to a standard All-on-4
• The clinical processes involved in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients
• The technical processes involved in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients
• The long-term management and follow-up required in the restorative therapy
• The principles of Immediate and Delayed Full Arch Implant work
• The clinical and technical protocols involved in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients
