Dental implant courses, digital dentistry training, and more

Ever since Dr. Paulo Maló published the first article on the All-on-4™ protocol for implant reconstruction of the mandibular full arch in 2003, there have been significant changes in the way dental professionals managing patients for full-arch implant restoration. Initially, there were concerns regarding the use of only four implants to support a full arch fixed restoration. The dental community exercised caution, particularly when the All-on-4™ protocol was indicated for immediate loading. 

After 25 years of clinical application and extensive documentation, All-on-4™ has firmly established itself as an effective method for full arch and full mouth dental implant reconstruction, particularly in patients with limited bone volume in the posterior oral regions. 

In recent years, dentistry has been undergoing digital transformation, with the integration of a complete digital workflow into dentists' everyday practices, including dental implant treatments. 

This three-day course aims to present the long-term evidence of All-on-4™ from both literature sources and real-world experiences. Additionally, the course will demonstrate the benefits of digitalization in full-arch protocols with live procedures. Hands-on sessions will provide participants with life-like models for an immersive learning experience. Whether you and your team are experienced in All-on-4™ or new to it, this course will be highly beneficial for your dental implant practice in the digital age. 

The aim of this course is to outline a systematic approach to prosthetic rehabilitation and help the clinician to confidently address comprehensive treatment involving bridges, crowns, veneers and onlays on natural dentition and on implants, from a single restoration to full-mouth rehabilitation. The application of systematic approach, represents, especially for complex rehabilitations, an indispensable means of achieving optimal final results, from the esthetic as well as biological and functional viewpoints. The course will also take in consideration the new digital approach to the prosthetic rehabilitation following the concept pf the “Digital Patient” able to provide the highest grade of information to obtain a predictable prosthetic result.

JOIN NOBEL BIOCARE'S INDUSTRY WORKSHOP AT THE EAED Annual Meeting, Croatia, ON FRIDAY, MAY 30, 17:30 -19:00.

Please note that this training is taking place within the EAED 35TH SPRING MEETING 2024, as the Nobel Biocare Industry Workshop, and only delegates registered for the EAED event, can register and attend this workshop.

Synopsis

The use of digital technology in dentistry is now entering the mainstream of dental practitioners, leading to significant advantages through multiple innovative platforms, technologies, tools and materials that can be synergistically combined to improve aesthetic outcomes and predictability.

This continuous development in computer technology and dental processing ensures new opportunities in the field of fixed prosthodontics, implantology and dental technology.

This presentation puts an emphasis on a close co-operation between prosthodontist, periodontist, implantologist and dental technician where a focus is placed on clinical and prosthetic techniques to re-create, in a two-way communication, successful outcomes. Furthermore, new concepts, trends, materials and clinical protocols will be discussed in order to provide predictable natural oral aesthetics around implants.

This course is designed for clinicians seeking to develop and/or enhance their skills performing soft and hard tissue regeneration procedures: Advanced techniques in bone and soft tissue regeneration, combining in-depth theory with hands-on and live surgery. Gain cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills in vertical and horizontal bone augmentation, sausage technique™ and soft tissue augmentation techniques to enhance your clinical outcomes in regenerative dentistry.

Learning outcomes

• Vertical and horizonal bone  augmentation
• Sausage technique™
• Sandwich soft tissue augmentation technique
• Micro suturing techniques for  soft tissue grafting

Shadowing an oral surgeon at MALO CLINIC provides a better understanding of what a doctor’s typical day is like, and a great way to gain familiarity with different surgical procedures and environments.

If you are a dentist looking to increase your knowledge in different aspects of oral surgery including implant dentistry, this is the right venue for you!

Take advantage of shadowing top oral surgeon Dr. Ana Ferro and learn directly from the source!

Clinical features of Dr. Ana Ferro include Implant dentistry, from single teeth, to the All-on-4® concept; complications management (including surgical interventions to resolve implant complications); periodontology; extraction of wisdom teeth.

This comprehensive course is designed for clinicians  seeking to deepen their expertise in modern implantology,  combining the latest in surgical techniques, restorative  protocols, and digital technologies. From diagnosis and  treatment planning, through the implant placement  followed by the innovative base concept, and immediate  loading, participants will gain practical skills and  knowledge to elevate their practice

The course also covers management of complications,  while emphasizing the importance of effective  communication strategies to enhance efficiency and  patient outcomes. The essence of the course will be realcase discussions, where we encourage you to bring your  own cases. The speakers will ensure you leave with  confidence in both the technical and communication  aspects of placing implants.

Course Overview

• Comprehensive overview of the All-on-4® concept – surgical protocol
• All-on-4® concept – immediate and final prosthetic considerations (MALO CLINIC ceramic bridge, MALO CLINIC acrylic bridge, PEEK, hi-fiber)
• All-on-4® concept – laboratory considerations
• All-on-4® concept – the science of things: clinical research, diagnosis, risk assessment, prognosis, and prophylaxis
• LIVE All-on-4® concept surgery

Synopsis

The All-on-4® concept is an innovative surgical procedure for the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws focusing entirely on the patient. By taking advantage of the dense bone available in the anterior maxilla and between the mandibular foramina, this widely applicable surgical technique allows the treatment of a significantly greater number of patients, while avoiding the need for complex, time consuming and often debilitating bone grafting procedures.

An important aspect of the long-term success of the All-on-4® concept is the full-arch implant-supported dental prosthetics. There are several options for both the immediate provisional and the definitive prosthesis with the ensemble of different materials in the infrastructure, the artificial gingiva and the crowns, each option with its own advantages and disadvantages that warrant discussion. Some examples include the MALO CLINIC ceramic bridge, the MALO CLINIC acrylic bridge, the MALO CLINIC PEEK-acrylic bridge.

The presentations by MALO CLINIC will focus on the laboratory process, clinical outcomes and scientific research using different materials in full-arch implant supported prostheses (including zygomatic implants). During these two days, the MALO CLINIC clinical team pioneer of the All-on-4® concept will demonstrate how to achieve immediate function, excellent esthetics and predictable long-term success through state-of-the-art protocols including, surgery, prosthodontics, and maintenance. In this prosthodontic clinical residency, the participant will have the opportunity to watch live surgery, perform prosthodontic hands-on and take advantage of a prosthetic mentorship, watching live patient treatments/appointments and discussing the cases.

This course is targeted to oral surgeons, prosthodontists, or dental laboratory technicians that want to stay up to date with the latest protocols related to the All-on-4® concept.
