This comprehensive program explores the approaches of full arch implant reconstruction with overdentures and the “All on X” technique. It covers treatment planning, surgery, and prosthetic principles to enhance both short and long-term success. Despite high success rates, complications can occur, and this course dives deep into their prevention and treatment. Guided surgery techniques will be discussed to enhance clinical outcomes while addressing limitations and pitfalls. Case presentations will demonstrate step-by-step complication management, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions regarding a guided vs. free-hand approach to full arch implant therapy.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
