Level 4 Outline
Utilizing procedure-based education*, this level focuses on expanding the scope of implant options from single implant scenarios to anterior and posterior multi-unit fixed partial dentures.
Throughout this level, the courses cover topics including:
- Concepts for determining implant position in treatment planning
- Key aspects of surgical guide design
- Impression taking techniques
- Provisional restoration design
- CAD/CAM abutment options and designs
At the completion of this level, participants will understand multi-unit fixed partial denture cases. Participants are encouraged to continue their education in Level 5, which will focus on full-arch removable implant overdentures.
*The implant curriculum is an interactive, procedure-based series of courses that use individual cases to teach current implant treatment. This approach is in contrast to conventional dental education that focuses more on didactic topics and theory. The purpose of using this educational approach is to highlight the patients and procedures found in everyday clinical practice, where the most important concepts are observed and discussed in multiple clinical scenarios.
