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.

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.

The secret for that success has been the constant evolution of the protocols that receive great attention from our side. 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.
