"Fixed Full Arch Implant Solutions for the Edentulous Patient"
Presented by Robert del Castillo DMD
This full day course is designed to simplify the treatment planning and protocol of the fixed full arch prosthesis. Learn about all aspects of the full-arch implant surgical-prosthetic protocols, including a new approach that does not require the need for screws or cement. Begin by understanding the basic surgical planning, indications, and treatment planning of the fixed attachment system. The topics of provisionalization, final prosthesis design and material selection, prosthesis removal and maintenance will also be covered. Clinicians who utilize the fixed attachment protocol will benefit from the simplicity of the system with less chair time and more comfort for the patient.
