Watch Dr Pretam Gharat perform a full arch implant case, demonstrating digital planning and execution, including immediate loading of the provisional prosthesis.
A full-arch immediate-load implant case (often referred to as All-on-4, All-on-X or Teeth-in-a-Day) requires meticulous reverse-engineered planning to ensure long-term mechanical and biological success.
The session follows the workflow from comprehensive digital diagnostics through to precise surgical placement, concluding with the immediate delivery of a provisional, rigid fixed prosthesis.
By the end of this session, viewers will have gained valuable knowledge of the indications, pitfalls and processes involved in delivering an emotional, life-changing dental treatment.
