A unique live surgical opportunity to learn the All on 4® treatment with digital workflow from expert instructors.

Each attending dentist will treat an upper and lower arch and learn the digital workflow process to immediate temporization of a 3D printed prosthesis.

This introduction to dental implant surgery is a 3-day course where attending dentists will have two and a half days of live surgical training, ½ day of live hands-on exercise, and 4 hours of online learning.

The hands-on will include learning implant drilling techniques and becoming familiar with the intricacies of the surgical kit. Attending dentists will also practice suturing techniques on suture pads and learn materials for site prep. For the live surgical portion, dentists will treat patients in different clinical situations. Dentists will plan and treatment plan each case with the instructors for optimal patient care.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will have gained a greater understanding of the necessary skills, techniques, instruments, and materials that are required for dental implant surgery.

The small details of operating a busy dental practice with a growing population of implant outcomes.

Spend three hours with Dr. Meek as he shares the current state of dental hygiene and maintenance protocols for full-arch appliances. Do you take the appliance off at each hygiene visit? When should restorative screws be replaced? Simple questions, but does your practice operate within guidelines? Come and get the skinny on keeping those full-arch restorations healthy.

Photography
In digital workflow, photography is essential. Full arch is a collaborative game and your lab partner needs the best from you so you can get the best from them. This short course in clinical photography will provide guidelines for what type of equipment you’ll need and how to set it up for consistent, solid communication.

Case acceptance
This segment of the course will review both soft skills and hard facts about patient compliance and your dental practice. This section includes information about your practice website and search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to fortify your private practice presence.

Learning objectives

In this course, the participant will...

– Learn about the current guidelines for maintaining full-arch appliances.

– Examine the preop records for full-arch cases using the All-on-4® treatment concept.

– See the verification steps for a master cast in the full-arch workflow.

– Learn the clinical steps of final restoration fabrication.

– See two photographic workflows, fixed singles vs. fixed full arch, to ensure maximum esthetics in your outcomes.

– Learn about consultation efficiency in both single-tooth replacement and full-arch restoration for better case compliance.

– Learn about SEO and its role in the patient’s decision to choose your practice.

Learn how to place dental implants in to abundant bone predictably, efficiently, and successfully. This comprehensive course is filled with hands-on exercises to prepare you for socket preservation, flap design, implant placement, and suturing. With your purchase you will have access to Session One ONLINE curriculum for up to 1 year so that you can go back and review as often as you want.

Completely edentulous jaws are a much more widespread handicap than most of us realize. Major barriers for solving the problem are the perceived complexity and high cost of treatment. With innovative new solutions, this no longer needs to be the case.

The All-on-4® treatment concept offers a viable and cost-effective implant-based solution for edentulous jaws that produces immediate patient satisfaction. This course will present a surgical and prosthetic overview of the All-on-4® treatment concept, including Immediate Function and full-case rehabilitation.

This course is designed for clinicians who are experienced in placing dental implants.

Navigated technology has demonstrated the predictability of static guides without many of the challenges/limitations. Three-dimensional navigated implant placement offers much more than routine surgical accuracy and precision. The intuitive software interface makes planning rapid and simple. Patient-satisfying immediacy can then become a realistic routine option. The plan should also be used for education as it allows patients to see their specific condition and appreciate anatomic risks as a necessary prerequisite for informed consent. Just as importantly, demonstrating the technology to the patient is a great practice builder. Educated patients expect to see technology-driven practices and are more likely to gain confidence and place their trust in a progressive dental practice.

The All-on-4® treatment concept offers a viable and cost-effective implant-based solution for edentulous jaws that produces immediate patient satisfaction. This course will present a surgical and prosthetic overview of the All-on-4® treatment concept, using software to plan 3D navigation during the surgery.

Learning outcomes

After this course, the participant will understand...

– The workflow of 3D navigated implant placement from diagnostics through planning and surgical delivery. Included will be how to make any necessary adjustments to the plan even mid-surgery.

– Implant placement, even in immediate sites, can be accurate and precise with real-time feedback and tactile sensitivity maintained. This is critical in cases where bone density has to be monitored during the osteotomy when primary stability with immediate provisionalization is a goal.

– How the efficiency of navigated implant placement using X-Guide® allows routine treatment of patients even on an immediate urgent/emergent basis.

– What prosthetically driven surgical planning can do to improve referral communication and satisfaction and strengthen the referral relationship while growing the practice.

The resorption of the posterior maxilla impacts the ability to place implants in most patients and will prevent patient satisfaction and an improvement in their quality of life. Implementing the sinus lift technique for your practice will allow more patients to experience dental implants and the benefits they provide.

This 3-Day Live Surgical Sinus Lift Training contains two full days of live surgical training each dentist will perform on average four lateral window sinus lifts. Attending dentists will become familiar with the instrumentation and W&H Piezo Surgical Console.
