Dentistry Live: Full arch immediate load implant dentistry
Join Dr Pretam Gharat on Thursday 20 August at 7pm for a live full arch implant case. The session will demonstrate 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 or All-on-X or Teeth-in-a-Day) requires meticulous reverse-engineered planning to ensure long-term mechanical and biological success.
The execution shifts from comprehensive digital diagnostics to precise surgical placement, concluding with the immediate delivery of a provisional, rigid fixed prosthesis.
At the end of this session, attendees will be armed with a vast amount of knowledge on the indications, pitfalls and processes of delivering an emotional, life-changing dental treatment.
