This advanced full-arch fixed-hybrid course, scheduled for June 17-18, 2022, will be led by Dr. Arshiya Sharafi, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, and Dr. Andrew Ferrier, Prosthodontist.

Surgical topics will include best practices in instrumentation, efficient ridge reduction techniques, implant positioning for adequate A/P spread, achieving optimum torque values (in soft bone), understanding when zygomatic or pterygoid implants should be considered, soft tissue management, implant complications, and more.

Restorative topics will include best practices in instrumentation and restorative materials, multi-unit abutment torque values, avoiding high smileline esthetic disasters, efficient immediate-fixed denture conversion techniques, vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), final full-arch prosthesis design, prosthetic complications, and more.

Full-arch laboratory technicians, Frank Charles Pope and Larry Stites, co-founders of Allure Dental Studio will share their infinite immediate-load prosthetic design experiences.

Since 2015, the San Diego two-day immediate-load training has received rave reviews for its comprehensive and foundational approach to full-arch implant dentistry. No combination of TeethXpress instructors have trained more dental professionals on full-arch immediate-load.

For best results, it is recommended that surgical specialists, referring dental colleagues and a dental laboratory technician attend as a team.

General dentists attending for both full-arch surgical and restorative training are expected to have intermediate to advanced experience in dental implant surgery as well.
