Course Outline

Edentulous patients and patients with a terminal dentition who want a fixed prosthetic rehabilitation are very often faced with time-consuming, expensive, and uncomfortable bone grafting procedures. The perceived complexity of rehabilitation is a great obstacle to treatment acceptance for these patients and many dental clinicians as well. Graft- less protocols were developed to treat this segment of the population.

This course will present surgical and prosthetic considerations of the All-on-4® treatment concept, including patient evaluation, restorative and surgical preparation, immediate provisionalization, and final restorative options. This course is intended for all members of the dental team—the surgeon, the restoring clinician, and the laboratory technician.
