Course Content
The treatment of the fully edentulous patient with computer assisted tomography, computer assisted surgical planning software, and a guided surgical technique using a stereo-lithography surgical template for implant placement has five-year clinical studies reported. Initial issues with esthetics and fit of the prosthesis are concerns. This presentation will discuss the treatment of the fully edentulous arch, treatment factors, and treatment options. At the conclusion of the presentation a demonstration will be performed treatment planning the edentulous patient using a surgical planning software program.
Objectives
• Recognize the factors for immediate loading in the fully edentulous patient.
• Understand the factors for treatment planning the fully edentulous patient.
• Discuss current treatment suggestions with implant placement and the fit of the prosthesis.
• Recognize clinical suggestions for guided surgery in the edentulous patient.
