Implant Assisted Prosthetic Options for the Edentulous Patient

The use of digital technology is gaining increased popularity in all aspects of Implant Dentistry, from digital imaging to implant planning, guided surgery to digital impressions and CAD/CAM fabricated prostheses. This course will cover patient case selection and treatment planning, as well as surgical and prosthetic options for fixed and removable implant supported prostheses for the edentulous arch. Various treatment options and prosthesis designs using conventional and digital workflows will be described with the goal of producing predictable results, enhancing treatment efficiency, and increasing patient satisfaction from esthetic and functional perspectives. 

Clinical cases will be illustrated in a step-by-step manner to demonstrate the implementation of digital implant treatment planning, guided surgery with immediate loading and CAD/CAM fabricated fixed prostheses, as well as current protocols used for removable overdentures.
