Course Information
The morning session will include an overall perspective of the principles and various treatment options utilizing the All-on-4 treatment concept, enabling you to better identify which patients are candidates and providing you a comfort level in establishing a treatment plan (even if you will not handle the surgical component).

The afternoon session will include all the information and clinical steps needed for the provisional bridge as well as for the delivery of the final fixed prosthesis. The coordination of prosthetic procedures and laboratory consideration will also be highlighted.

To enhance your understanding of the All-on-4 treatment concept, this course includes videos of live procedures for both the surgical phase and prosthetic stages (final impression/bite registration and prosthetic steps for a final bridge), a lecturers' panel discussion, and Q&A sessions.

This session will begin with a brief overview of the All-on-4 treatment concept for patients, addressing the benefits, rewards, and excitement this process can bring to your patients, staff, and practice of dentistry. Understanding the decision-making process of today's dental patient and identifying behavioral styles of your patient for implant case acceptance is critical. Utilizing scripted messaging to ensure a clear message to your patient can influence your case acceptance.
