Join us for these comprehensive sessions to refine your treatment planning skills and enhance patient outcomes. Prof. Denis Tarnow and Prof. Stephen Chu on Single Teeth to Full Arch Rehabilitation | What We Know, What We Think We Know, and What We Don't Know

This 2-day workshop, scheduled for February 29 and March 1, 2024, is a deep dive into the sophisticated realm of dental treatment planning. It begins by examining the foundational aspect of any patient's treatment - the art and science of making accurate diagnoses and formulating effective treatment strategies.

Day one focuses on the crucial decision-making process: whether to preserve a natural tooth or replace it with an implant, and how to sequence therapy for the best outcomes. Participants will explore practical techniques for patient comfort during treatment, the intricacies of bone and soft tissue management, immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets, and the use of biometrics for ideal esthetic and occlusal outcomes.

The session will also include considerations for ridge reduction in "all on 4" or "all on 6" treatments.

The second day shifts to advanced topics such as the judicious use of pink ceramics versus natural tissue rebuilding, tailoring treatment plans to the patient’s medical status, and deciding between overdentures and fixed solutions. The course will cover occlusion styles in implant-supported cases, techniques for splinting teeth to implants, strategies for managing peri-implantitis, corrective measures for existing esthetic issues, and the application of digital dentistry in streamlining treatment plans. Attendees will also learn about serial extraction as an alternative to ridge reduction in full-arch treatments.
