This course offers a comprehensive introduction to fixed full arch implant treatment using the new DIRECTarchTM multi-unit abutments, designed for clinicians who are ready to transition from overdentures to fixed hybrid solutions. Participants will learn to embrace digital workflows while maintaining a strong grasp on the essential analog principles. This course emphasizes the importance of understanding both approaches to achieve accuracy and long-term success in the digital workflow. Led by an experienced prosthodontist, this program will lay out the entire treatment process, from surgery to prosthetic design, bringing the accuracy of analog protocols into the digital world. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

•  Understand diagnosis and successful treatment planning for full arch cases, including the importance of surgical workflow considerations to support the prosthetic phase 


• Discover strategies for optimizing treatment efficiency through digital techniques, while still applying analog fundamental necessary for precise clinical outcomes 


• Discuss the advantages and limitations of traditional impressions vs. digital scanning, accuracy pitfalls of conventional scan bodies, and how new, horizontal X-wing scan bodies can bridge the precision gap for fixed full arch cases 


• Explore the features and clinical applications of the DIRECTarchTM multi-unit abutments for fixed full arch restorations, designed for ease and efficiency 


• Explain step-by-step protocol for the denture conversion into an immediately loaded fixed prosthesis for “teeth in a day” 


• Master the workflow for fabrication of the definitive prosthesis, including the selection and customization of prosthetic components
