This workshop takes an in-depth look at the latest full-arch implant solutions, from the basic overdenture to the monolithic zirconia implant prosthesis. Dr. Patel explores the advantages of each restorative option, reviews their treatment protocols, and explains the clinical considerations involved in determining the ideal solution for each patient. This course also provides a hands-on experience with the placement of implants for a full-arch fixed restoration and the conversion of a removable denture to a fixed provisional.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
1. Articulate the pros and cons of removable vs. fixed implant restorations
2. Provisionalize fully-edentulous implant cases
3. Convert overdentures to fixed restorations
4. Understand advantages of newly developed implant designs in full-arch indications
5. Provide digital treatment planning and determine when to consider guided surgery
6. Perform immediate extraction and implant placement for full-arch restorations
7. Consider the use and clinical benefits of PMMA temporaries
8. Appreciate immediate conversion of the patient’s denture at the time of implant placement
9. Communicate the benefits of monolithic, zirconia full-arch implant prosthesis
