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. 

Synopsis

MALO CLINIC Education has created a program that provides the participant   with a unique opportunity to understand all surgical alternatives to perform   a standard All-on-4® Concept.

The All-on-4® concept is one of the breakthroughs in Implant Dentistry,   allowing the rehabilitation of the majority of edentulous arches without the   need of bone grafting. Created at MALO CLINIC, the All-on-4® concept it is   backed up by more than 20 years of clinical research with excellent long-term   results.

Today, the All-on-4® concept is up to date with the digital revolution in   implant dentistry, allowing to upgrade surgical and prosthodontic protocols   following a full digital workflow. In this 3-day course, the participants will   gain knowledge on the analogical workflow, the digital approach through 3D   navigated surgery, and the digital workflow with the use of stackable guides;   representing the basis and state-of-the-art approaches to how the   contemporary All-on-4® concept is performed. It includes 3 live surgeries,   backed up by theory, featuring live demonstrations or hands-on from planning   to surgery and hands-on in implant placement (one for each approach)!

Course Overview

• Re-thinking oral rehabilitation – from analogical to digital
• Patient selection and treatment planning
• The esthetic possibilities of the All-on-4® surgical protocol – Prosthetic   rehabilitation
• Implant maintenance
• Lab workflow
• Live All-on-4® protocol surgeries in the maxilla and/or mandible
• Live placement of immediate prosthesis

Learning outcomes

• Re-thinking oral rehabilitation – from analogical to digital
• Patient selection and treatment planning
• The esthetic possibilities of the all-on-4® surgical protocol – prosthetic rehabilitation
• Implant maintenance
• Lab workflow
• Live all-on-4® protocol surgeries in the maxilla and/or mandible

Synopsis

Created at MALO CLINIC, the All-on-4® concept is backed up by more than 20 years of clinical research with excellent long-term results. In recent years digital tools have been introduced into implant and prosthetic dentistry as a way to provide a significant gain in predictability, accuracy and safety.

Designed for those that want to integrate a complete digital workflow in the rehabilitation of total edentulous patients, this hands-on course aims to:

• teach how to use BlueSkyPlan® and Meshmixer® software,
• how to reverse plan your surgery based on the prosthesis design,
• digitally plan bone reduction and implant placement,
• design, print and finish custom guides,
• use all these tools on surgery day.

With live surgery, 3D planning and hands-on in printed models, we will help you gain proficiency in the planning and execution of complex full arch rehabilitations of the maxilla/mandible through the All-on-4® concept, using a digital workflow.

Course Overview

• Live Surgery using a digital approach
• Re-thinking oral rehabilitation
• Patient selection and treatment planning
• Comprehensive Overview of the All-on-4® Surgical Protocol
• Software selection
• Designing of digital guides
• All-on-4® surgery and prosthesis relining using the guides in printed models

Doctors searching for an “all inclusive”, immersive and out-of-the box learning experience will find what they are looking for in this hybrid course, a great path to expand their knowledge and achieve planning and practical competency on restoring full arch fixed implant supported cases.

Course Overview

• Re-thinking oral rehabilitation
• Patient selection and treatment planning – from standard to extra-maxilla cases
• How to manage possible zygoma cases complications
• The esthetic possibilities of All-on-4® protocol
• All-on-4® protocol surgeries – live cases
• Immediate prosthesis delivery
• Standard & zygoma hands-on sessions on models
• Cadaver hands-on session (full day – surgical procedures from standard to extra-maxilla cases) 

Synopsis

Designed for those that want to broaden their experience in implant dentistry on total edentulous patients, including zygoma cases, this training covers the All-on-4® surgical protocol in detail concentrating on all existing approaches – standard, hybrid and double-zygoma – offering participants a comprehensive training that will allow them to gain the skills and know-how to successfully rehabilitate atrophic mandibles/maxillae as well as severely resorbed maxillae in just a few hours,

Including live surgery, hands-on on both fresh frozen cadavers (1 full-day) and models, the course will take you through all the relevant aspects of the MALO CLINIC protocol, from patient selection to treatment planning, and anatomic and imaging considerations, all the way through to the fitting of the immediate and final prostheses so you can offer immediate function to your patients even when facing with extremely atrophic maxilla and mandible cases.
