Fellowship 3 – Advanced Full Arch Implantology
Enhance Your Dental Expertise, Explore New Horizons: A Fellowship Like No Other!
Course Overview
- Advanced program focused on complex full arch implant rehabilitations.
- Covers diagnosis, treatment planning, surgery, prosthetics, and long-term maintenance.
- Integrates lectures, hands-on workshops, live surgery, and case discussions.
- Emphasizes multidisciplinary, patient-centered care with evidence-based practice.
This intensive fellowship program is thoughtfully structured into four specialized modules, each designed to systematically enhance your clinical proficiency and deepen your domain knowledge.
Module 1: Foundational Principles and Diagnosis
- Anatomy and physiology relevant to full arch implantology.
- Biomechanics and occlusion in full arch restorations.
- Patient selection, medical history, and risk assessment.
- Comprehensive clinical and radiographic evaluation (including CBCT interpretation).
- Medico-legal considerations and informed consent.
- Prosthetic options for full arch restorations (fixed vs. removable).
Module 2: Surgical Principles and Techniques
- Surgical armamentarium and sterilisation protocols.
- Flap design and management for full arch surgery.
- Implant site preparation and osteotomy techniques.
- Hands-on workshop: Implant placement on models.
- Bone grafting and augmentation procedures in full arch cases (sinus lifts, ridge augmentation).
- Introduction to guided implant surgery: Planning and execution.
- Live surgical observation: Full arch implant placement.
Module 3: Prosthetic Considerations and Workflow
- Impression techniques for full arch implant restorations.
- Master cast fabrication and verification.
- Abutment selection and design for full arch prostheses.
- Hands-on workshop: Abutment selection and screw-retained/cement-retained concepts.
- Principles of occlusion and articulation for full arch restorations.
- Fabrication of provisional and definitive full arch prostheses (fixed and removable).
- Digital workflow in full arch prosthetics: Scanning, design, and manufacturing.
Module 4: Advanced Concepts and Case Management
- Immediate implant placement and immediate loading in full arch cases.
- Management of the severely resorbed edentulous arch.
- Addressing aesthetic challenges in full arch implantology.
- Management of complications in full arch implant surgery and prosthetics.
- Long-term maintenance and recall protocols for full arch implant patients.
- Case presentation and discussion: Fellow-presented cases.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration in complex full arch cases.
Upon completion of this fellowship, participants will be able to:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of full-arch implantology.
- Develop practical skills in surgical and prosthetic techniques, including the use of various implant systems and workflows.
- Learn from live surgical demonstrations performed by experienced faculty.
- Enhance the ability to analyze real-world cases and develop effective treatment plans.
- Master the interpretation of CBCT scans and other advanced diagnostic tools.
