Conventional, Analog Fixed Hybrid Training
The principles and applications taught in this traditional, free-hand immediate fixed-hybrid denture training are advanced and foundational. This cannot be understated. Learning to perform full-arch, immediate-load procedures, using a free-hand approach, is fundamental to mastering a guided immediate-fixed hybrid approach. Techniques in photogrammetry will be discussed.
What You’ll Learn:
- Fundamental protocols for achieving the required inter-arch occlusal space
- Rationale for angled and straight posterior dental implants and their advantages and limitations
- When is it ideal to perform a fixed-hybrid denture using all-on-four, five or six dental implants?
- Techniques for ridge manipulation and delivery of angled multi-unit abutments
- Anterior/posterior (AP) spread and splinting techniques for achieving the required implant torque values
- Concepts in tooth extraction and ridge reduction protocols
- Fixed-hybrid team approach including surgeon, dentist and dental laboratory technician
- Rationale and techniques of photogrammetry in full-arch All-on-X procedures
- How to minimize chairtime for optimal patient care, efficiency and profitability
- Impression techniques that achieves a passive final dental implant prosthesis
- Basic principles in zygomatic and pterygoid implants when there is limited bone in the maxilla
Laboratory Training
A local dental laboratory technician, experienced in full-arch immediate load conversions, can be the difference in treatment chaos or efficiency. Encourage lab technicians to attend a TeethXpress course and become proficient in fixed-hybrid denture conversion protocols.
What You’ll Learn:
- Effective strategies for treatment planning with surgeons and restorative dentists
- Immediate fixed denture conversion techniques that are designed for speed, accuracy and profitability
- How to becoming the go-to immediate-load laboratory within a local market
Internal Implant Marketing Strategies
Most dental professionals want to perform more fixed-hybrid denture cases. Many still struggle to attract and influence patients to accept high-dollar, full-arch implant procedures.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to identify and attract a consistent stream of fixed-hybrid denture cases in your practice
- A blueprint for patient consultations and proven tools for achieving high, screw-retained, full-arch implant case acceptance
- Strategies for maximizing dental insurance and best practices for affordable treatment financing
- How varying personalities are motivated differently to accept large dollar implant treatment plans
