12 webinars to strengthen your full-arch treatment

Last year we released a range of exciting webinars from top experts all over the world. A variety of full-arch topics was discussed, including removable and fixed treatments, immediate and delayed protocols, digital and analog workflows, new products and science in the edentulous field. We have prepared an overview of these webinars for you below:

1. Implant rehabilitation in geriatric patients with comorbidities

Learning objectives:


  • Understand the impact of ageing and multimorbidity on treatment planning
  • Design an age-appropriate implant overdenture

Speaker: Prof. Frauke Müller

Fixed full-arch solutions

2. Immediate treatment protocols for edentulous maxillae

Speakers: Dr. Edmond Bedrossian, Dr. Armand Bedrossian

Learning objectives:

  • Evaluation protocols to determine whether the patient has a tooth-only or composite defect.
  • Preoperative merging of STL files with Dicom files for treatment planning.
  • In-depth understanding of the number and distribution of implants along the arch length

Speaker: Dr. Ryan Lewis

6. Quality standards in full-arch implant rehabilitation

Speaker: Dr. Alex Fibishenko

Learning objectives:

  • The ABCs of success in full-arch rehabilitations
  • Correlating the radiographic findings with clinical presentation to derive an appropriate surgical plan
  • Ways to assess and manage restorative space
  • How to use anatomic landmarks to ideally position the implants
  • Optimizing the stability of implants for immediate loading
  • Understanding zygoma implants, when to use them and how to position them safely and correctly
  • How to avoid complications in full-arch rehabilitation

Speaker: Dr. Alex Fibishenko

7. On 4 or on 6? Decision-making for immediate restoration in edentulous patients

Speaker: Dr. Waldemar Polido

Learning objectives:

  • Review the evolution of implant rehabilitation for the completely edentulous patient
  • Identify clinical situations that are favorable for immediacy in fully edentulous patients
  • Recognize factors that can influence primary stability in implant surgery
  • Review the scientific evidence and illustrate clinical indications for the use of 4 or 6 implants to rehabilitate a completely edentulous patient.

Speaker: Dr. Waldemar Polido

8. Science and new technologies for the full-arch treatment

Speaker: Dr. Leandro Soeiro Nunes

Learning objectives:

  • Decision making in the full-arch treatment

Speaker: Dr. Martin Schimmel

12. Always fixed?—Removable alternatives for edentulous patients

Speaker: Dr. Charlotte Stilwell

At the end of the webinar the participants should be able to:

  • Discuss indications for removable dentures together with their esthetic and functional advantages and disadvantages
  • Describe general design principles for partial and complete dentures
  • Outline indications for strategic use of implants in combination with removable dentures

Speaker: Dr. Charlotte Stilwell
