Description
The FP1 course.
“In full arch, think beyond bone reduction” Martin Wanendeya
This course is intended for those dentists who are looking to improve the aesthetic outcomes of their single and multiple tooth implant restorations as well as learn how to diagnose, plan and carry out FP1(pink free) full arch restorations. The course is a mixture of lectures and hands on practical sessions designed to teach the FP1 technique.
Immediate loading on full and partial arches is something that many implant dentists want to learn. There are many good courses out there that teach this, but most teach the approach where a fixed denture is made by removing bone on the ridge rather than preserving the hard and soft tissue.
Many dentists are uncomfortable with this approach as it goes against their natural instinct to preserve and augment bone and soft tissue rather than remove it.
This course will aim to show that there is another approach to full arch prosthetics- one where hard and soft tissue are preserved and the patient has a bridge that does not look like a fixed denture.
The many steps involved, which include diagnosis, treatment planning, digital smile design, guided surgery, guided bone regeneration, soft tissue manipulation, intraoral welding, provisional prosthetic design, and final prosthetic design, allow the delivery of an all-white prosthesis. Both digital and analogue workflows will be discussed.
This course will cover and emphasise:
-
Diagnosing when a case can be treated as an FP1
-
Treatment planning for an FP1,
-
Digital smile design (lecture and hands-on)
-
Guided surgery
-
Soft tissue augmentation and manipulation (lecture and hands-on)
-
Intra oral welding (lecture and hands-on
-
Provisional prosthetic design (lecture and hands-on
-
Digital impressions (lecture and hands-on)
-
Final prosthetic design
Agenda for both days
Registration: 08:30
Course start: 09:00
Course end: 18:00
Learning Aims
To provide delegates with the knowledge and skills to confidently plan place and restore FP1 bridges as full arches as well as small anterior and posterior sectional restorations, both immediate and delayed as well as understand the key principles in delivering a functional and maintainable final prosthesis.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course delegates should be able to
-
Diagnose and treatment plan an FP1 full arch case
-
Understand the risks and benefits of this approach rather than an FP2/FP3 approach
-
Diagnose and treatment plan hard and soft tissue defects in relation to FP1 delivery
-
Be able to carry out the appropriate soft tissue grafting needed for an FP1
-
Understand the digital tools that can be used to help at all stages of the process
-
Select the appropriate material for an FP1 provisional and final bridges
