Course Description

11 CE Units

Participants will deepen their understanding of interdisciplinary treatment planning, complete denture fundamentals, digital surgical guide workflows, and day-of-surgery protocol, including MUA positioning and prosthesis conversion. The course follows the full iterative pathway, from immediate conversion and provisionalization to prototype evaluation and final zirconia and hybrid prosthesis design.  Attendees will gain practical principles and evidence-based techniques that can be integrated into their full-arch cases immediately.
