(GMM) General Membership Meeting: Think Different: Disruptive Digital Workflows for Restoring Full Arch Implant Supported Prostheses – 4/11/24

As digital technology has been shown to provide more efficient treatment protocols, fundamental knowledge of analog implant principles is imperative for successful treatment outcomes. This seminar will highlight the restorative aspects of implant dentistry, with an overview of traditional principles, while implementing digital workflows for treatment planning, design and manufacturing processes. The focus will be on using intraoral scanning to capture the definitive impression for complete arch implant therapy, with a disruptive and innovative technique and workflow. A case will be thoroughly examined in depth, demonstrating how a contemporary dental practice may implement this workflow for restoring the definitive complete arch implant-supported prostheses.

1. Understanding of the gold standard for restoring complete arch implant-supported prosthesis.

2. Comprehensive understanding of the evolution of digital technology with complete arch treatment and how we continue to adapt to the current and ever-evolving workflows.

3. The attendees will have the opportunity to review an A-Z workflow for the planning, converting, and restoring of a complete arch case using modern digital technology available today.
