This course is designed for dentists who wish to begin performing implant-supported prosthetic restorations, as well as for clinicians already providing implant prosthodontics who want to systematize and deepen their knowledge — from fundamental principles to clinical decision-making.
During the course, participants will be guided through the ABC of implant prosthodontics, covering procedures from single-tooth implant restoration to small multi-unit bridge restorations, while discussing common clinical scenarios, potential complications, and their prevention.
Participants will also receive practical guidance on achieving passive fit of implant-supported bridge prostheses.
The training includes both theoretical and hands-on practical sessions.
What You Will Gain from This Course:
• A clear and structured workflow for implant prosthodontics, from the initial treatment planning stage to the delivery of the final prosthesis.
• A practical understanding of proper abutment selection (base abutments, multi-unit abutments, conometric abutments, and screwless multi-unit systems) and how to avoid the most common clinical mistakes.
• Greater confidence in planning and performing implant-supported prosthetic restorations.
• Hands-on experience with conventional and digital impression techniques, including the clinical use and evaluation of prosthetic components such as healing abutments, impression transfers, implant analogs, as well as base abutments, multi-unit abutments, conometric systems, and screwless multi-unit solutions.
• Increased clinical confidence and a clear decision-making framework that can be applied in everyday practice immediately after the course.
