Program Outline

This Bii program covers the surgical aspects of the All-on-4 treatment. Imaging, armamentarium, and clinical techniques needed for this treatment modality are presented. This program builds on the Prosthetic 3 Course, taking into account the surgical keys for implant placement with differing bone densities, treatment of the aesthetic and phonetic requirements, space requirements, laboratory communication, insertion techniques post-operative follow-up and hygiene requirements are key to this treatment.

Participants will be expected to provide a patient to complete an arch of immediate load surgery under Bii supervision and mentorship.

Hands-on training and live surgical demonstration are an integral feature of Advanced 1.

Fees for Advanced 1 upon registering.
