Treatment planning considerations & techniques in terminal dentition and full-arch rehabilitations.
Konstantinos Chochlidakis DDS, MS
Program Director of the Prosthodontic Postgraduate Training Program at Eastman Institute for Oral Health (EIOH)
Nowadays we are treating many patients with more complex situations than before. Different approaches exist for treating terminal dentition patients with dental implants such as extraction of all failing teeth with either removable provisionalization or immediate implant placement and loading. Alternative modalities include the staged approach which includes selective extractions and keeping strategic teeth for fixed teeth provisionalization and eventually transitioning the terminal dentition to complete-arch implant rehabilitation. In this presentation we will describe an algorithm with the treatment planning rationale of “extracting versus saving teeth” in patients with compromised dentition and describe the “step by step” conventional and digital workflows for the full-arch implant rehabilitation of terminal dentition cases. Clinical recommendations and conclusions will be drawn for predictable long-term outcomes.
LECTURE OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
1. Understand where we draw the line in terminal dentition cases (extract vs maintain)
2. Understand the conventional and digital workflows in terminal dentition cases
3. Understand the advantages of digital technology in full-arch implant rehabilitations
