After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
Part 1: Treatment Planning for Completely Edentulous Patients
1. Treatment Planning Overview: Comprehensive evaluation and patient expectations. An interdisciplinary approach when needed
2. Prosthetic Considerations: Choice of prosthesis (fixed, removable, hybrid). Occlusal scheme and functional needs
3. Bone Volume: Evaluation via clinical exam and imaging. Considerations for implant placement and grafting
4. Smile Analysis: Esthetics and facial harmony. Incisal edge display at rest and during smile
5. Lip Line and Lip Mobility: High vs low lip line impact on esthetics. Range of lip movement affecting prosthetic visibility
6. Prosthetic Tissue Junction: Transition zone design for esthetics. Blending artificial and natural tissues
7. Lip Support: Restoration of facial contours and soft tissue support
8. Lip Length: Impact on denture flange extension and smile dynamics.
9. Prosthetic Space: Evaluation of vertical and horizontal space. Adequacy for housing all components (framework, teeth, acrylic)
10. Vertical Dimension: Assessment of existing VDO (Vertical Dimension of Occlusion). Restoring proper function and facial proportions
11. Financial Considerations: Aligning treatment plan with patient's budget. Phased treatment options or alternative plans
12. Number of Implants: Based on prosthesis type and support requirements. Balance between biomechanics, esthetics, and cost
13. A-P (Anterior-Posterior) Spread: Critical for fixed prosthesis stability. Planning implant position for long-term success
Part 2: Digital Workflow & Prosthetic Planning for Full Arch Implant Rehabilitaion
1. Implant Configuration: Determining the optimal number and position of implants. Consideration of anatomical and biomechanical factors
2. Occlusal Scheme: Selecting appropriate occlusal concepts (e.g., mutually protected, balanced). Managing occlusal load in full-arch prostheses
3. Digital Diagnosis: Utilizing CBCT, intraoral scans, and patient data.Evaluating bone and soft tissue digitally
4. Facial Scan: Capturing esthetic and soft tissue data. Integrating facial features into prosthetic planning
5. Digital Planning for Implant Case: Virtual implant placement with prosthetically driven planning. CAD/CAM software utilization
6. Surgery: Guided vs freehand surgery. Minimally invasive techniques and flap design
7. Stackable Guides: Sequential surgical guides for accuracy. Integration of bone reduction and implant placement in one workflow
8. Loading: Immediate vs delayed loading protocols. Criteria for immediate function
9. Conversion: Intraoperative conversion to provisional prosthesis. Techniques for efficiency and accuracy
10. Impression: Open/closed tray techniques. Digital vs conventional impressions for full-arch
11. Verification Jig: Passive fit verification. Importance in reducing prosthetic misfit.
12. Bar Design: Selection of bar type (hybrid, Hader, wrap-around). Support and retention considerations
13. Materials: Titanium, zirconia, PEEK, PMMA options. Choosing based on esthetics, strength, and cost
14. Complications: Common surgical and prosthetic issues. Prevention and management strategies
15. Recommendations: Best practices based on evidence and experience. Treatment protocols and patient selection
16. Maintenance: Hygiene protocols and recall schedule. Long-term success through patient education and follow-up
Prior level of experience in Basic implant treatment planning is required
