OVERVIEW

Treating the Terminal Dentition and the Fully Edentulous Patient 2026 is organized by Spear Education and will be held from Nov 13 - 14, 2026 in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America.

Description:
The patient with terminal dentition or with an edentulous state unquestionably faces a disfiguring condition. Over the past decades, osseointegrated implants have provided extraordinary solutions, either supporting or retaining prosthetic devices aimed to restore both form and function. This two-day course will explore the essentials of treatment planning and implant restorative design for the patient with terminal dentition and/or a fully edentulous condition. It will provide guidelines that can be easily implemented in practice in order to help interdisciplinary communication between the restorative dentist, the surgeon and the laboratory.

What you will learn at this In-Person Seminar:

How to transition a patient with a terminal dentition into a definitive implant-supported prosthesis.
How to stage multiple treatment phases while providing the patient with a comfortable transitional prosthesis.
