FROM ZERO TO SMILE
Full-digital protocol for full-arch immediate-load restorations
Abstract
The course covers the fully digital protocol for full-arch immediate-load restorations, integrating prosthetically guided planning, implant surgery, and prosthetic completion within a fully digital workflow. Through a theoretical and practical approach, all operational phases will be analyzed: acquisition of diagnostic data, pre-surgical prosthesis design, implant surgery planning, use of guided surgery, implant placement, management of Multi-Unit Abutments (MUA), and fabrication of the immediate prosthesis. Particular attention will be given to the biological, anatomical, and biomechanical principles governing full-arch restorations, with an in-depth examination of the indications, advantages, and limitations of guided surgery; the requirements for achieving proper primary implant stability; the management of major surgical and prosthetic complications, and the application of predictable and reproducible clinical protocols. Participants will perform procedures directly on patients, following the entire surgical and prosthetic workflow, thereby acquiring the skills necessary to design and fabricate immediate-load full-arch restorations according to a comprehensive digital protocol that can be immediately applied in daily clinical practice.

Practical Session on Patient
Each participant will personally perform the entire clinical workflow on the patient, from the surgical phase to the delivery of the immediate-load provisional prosthesis, under the supervision of the tutors. The exercise will include all the operational phases of the fully digital protocol:
-Preparation of the surgical site and surgical procedure
-Implant placement according to guided planning
-Positioning and management of Multi-Unit Abutments (MUA)
-Fabrication, finishing, and delivery of the temporary prosthesis
-Final clinical examination and occlusion check
