This training course is designed to equip participants with the skills necessary to independently perform advanced implant-prosthetic reconstructions in cases of edentulism. The course covers different kinds of prostheses, the use of surgical templates with immediate loading, and both screw-retained and cemented restorations. Emphasis is placed on avoiding occlusal overload and maintaining occlusal stability.

KEY ADVANTAGES
The program is led by experienced mentors with extensive professional and teaching backgrounds. It includes lectures, hands-on workshops, and case-based video discussions. Participants will learn the protocols and methodologies for implant-supported prosthetic treatment in edentulous cases, including the key factors required to achieve both intermediate and final clinical success.

The training covers all procedural stages—from 3D radiological diagnostics and optimal treatment selection (including screw-retained and cemented restorations with temporary placements and immediate loading), through treatment planning and backward planning, to diagnostic  models and the design and 3D printing of surgical guides and prosthetic restorations aligned with the planned implant positions.

Participants will also gain insights into the biomechanics of implant-supported reconstructions and the criteria for achieving ideal occlusion, including patient preparation for occlusal changes. The course also presents algorithms for selecting the appropriate retention method (screw-retained vs. cemented), including specifics related to sealing screw access holes and occlusal considerations.

An overview of laboratory techniques used in the fabrication of prosthetic work will broaden participants’ understanding of how to select the most suitable restoration approach across various clinical scenarios.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Assess and qualify patients for fixed prosthetic reconstructions in edentulous cases
• Conduct comprehensive clinical diagnostics for fixed restorations, including patient interviews, examinations, expectation assessments, impressions, and diagnostic models
• Perform radiological diagnostics and evaluate bone conditions
• Utilize computed tomography in planning implant-prosthetic reconstructions for edentulous patients
