Course Abstract
This course will guide participants through a comprehensive and clinically oriented journey in implant surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation. Starting from fundamental principles of functional and esthetic planning, we will introduce the concept of the Ideal Future Free Gingival Margin (IFFGM) as a cornerstone for identifying the biologically and prosthetically ideal implant position.
Through a step-by-step analysis of clinical cases, participants will explore different surgical techniques and regenerative approaches to correct various degrees of atrophy, always within a prosthetically driven framework. The program will also emphasize the importance of soft tissue management and advanced prosthetic rehabilitation, highlighting how the final esthetic and functional outcomes are determined by precise prosthetic planning even before implant placement.
Finally, the course will show how digital technologies can be integrated into both planning and execution phases to enhance predictability, efficiency, and long-term success. ( DTX, IOS, Facial scanner, X-Nav, Sprint Ray)
