Treatment of edentulous patients of dentate patients with terminal dentition to be transitioned to edentulism poses many challenges, including anatomic proximity to critical oral structures (maxillary sinus, nasal floor, mandibular canal), limited bone volume, inappropriate bone topography and soft tissue deficiency. A variety of surgical and prosthetic solutions need to be considered. The first question is whether remaining teeth have a reasonable prognosis and can be saved. If not, various replacement options can be considered. If it is necessary to determine whether utilization of existing bone along with osseous resection to harmonize the bone crest is possible. This option is often utilized for immediate functional loading. In other cases, regenerative solutions such as sinus augmentation and alveolar ridge augmentation will be necessary. Prosthetic solutions, such as fixed and removable dentures, have to be considered. This course explores therapeutic options for fully edentulous patients, focusing on those with compromised bone.
Educational Format:
This course offers flexible educational format to accommodate all clinicians.
All participants will have access to all online course resources, which can be accessed on-demand, including:
- Lectures on background, scientific evidence and clinical case management
- Clinical videos demonstrating surgical and prosthetic protocols
- References: PDF files of publications and manuals
- Material list
Live In-Person Education:
We have taken extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of all participants:
- Attendance is strictly limited to allow physical distancing
- Surgically Clean Air filtration system available
- Masks will be required at all times
- No food or beverage consumption will be allowed within the institute
- All breaks will take place outside
Remote Live Synchronous Education: Lectures and Hands-On Workshop
Participants will have access to all online educational resources and will participate in all live sessions. Recordings of live lectures will be made available for later reference.
All instruments and workshop material will be shipped to participants to allow completion of all simulated exercises at participants’ homes or offices. The workshops can be completed synchronously during live sessions, where live feedback can be requested from the instructor. Alternatively, recordings can be watched on-demand for completion or repeat of workshop exercises.
Remote Live Synchronous Education: Lecture Only
Participants will have access to all didactic educational material, including live participation in lectures, live surgeries and watching the hands-on exercises. Recordings of live lectures will be made available for later reference.
Remote Asynchronous Education: Lectures and Hands-On Workshop
Participants will have access to all online educational material and can access the material as on-demand basis.
All instruments and workshop material will be shipped to participants to allow completion of all simulated exercises at participants’ home or office.
Remote Live Asynchronous Education: Lecture Only
Participants will have access to all online educational material and can access the material (lectures, live surgeries and watching the hand-on exercises) as on-demand basis.
