Growing Your Practice with Full Arch Rehabilitation
Implementing ALL-ON-X and Overdenture Options

Many patients seek to improve their quality of life by gaining confidence in public and restoring function through a healthy, esthetic smile that allows them to comfortably chew a wider variety of nutritious foods.
This TWO PART PROGRAM is designed to help guide the General Dentist through the clinical decision-making process involved in selecting appropriate treatment options for All-on-X and overdenture cases. The course will review both digital and analog workflows, with a focus on patient selection, pre-surgical records, day-of-surgery prosthetic procedures, and workflow options for transitioning from a provisional restoration to the Definitive Prosthesis.

PART ONE will start with the morning focused on ALL-ON-X considerations and protocols and will include a comprehensive HANDS ON of the prosthetic steps for the day of surgery.
PART TWO the afternoon will be an in depth review of Overdentures, with a focus on the Locator System for converting a full denture into a removable overdenture and a simplified approach for converting a removable overdenture to a FIXED Locator Prosthesis.
