PROGRAM PURPOSE
The Immediate Full Arch Rehabilitation of Patients with Dental Implants
Dr. Steven J. LoCascio
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Since its accidental discovery in 1952 by Dr. P.I. Brånemark, and subsequent introduction to dentistry in the late 1970s and early 1980s, osseointegration has revolutionized how dentists treat patients. It can be safely stated that the endosseous dental implant is the single greatest advance that dentistry has seen in the last century.
Utilization of endosseous implants can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by replacing missing teeth, restoring a smile and facilitating the ability to chew and function without experiencing pain and embarrassment.
Many patients with hopeless dentitions expect their transition from teeth to full arch implants to be seamless. A clinician's understanding of basic treatment principles along with current trends and technology, will help facilitate optimal outcomes that meet patient expectations of treatment experience, function and aesthetics. This lecture will focus on how to predictably transition patients with debilitated dentitions to full arch implant restorations. Prosthetic principles that are critical to achieve enhanced aesthetic and functional results will be reviewed. Multiple clinical cases will be illustrated.
At the completion of this program, participants should be able to:
Describe the aesthetic and biomechanical challenges associated with transitioning patients from teeth to dental implants.
Understand the various methods of transitioning patients with comprehensive dental needs from teeth to implants.
Identify patients that are candidates for immediate full arch loading of dental implants.
Understand the step by step sequencing of treatment procedures with both immediate provisionalization and case completion.
Explain the clinical differences with immediate occlusal loading of the maxilla compared to the mandible.
Be able to detail how to restoratively begin any rehabilitation case.
Understand how the use of specialty implants and surgical guidance can enhance treatment results.

PORTS OF CALL
Budapest, Hungary
Welcome to Budapest, the magnificent “Pearl of the Danube.” Your day in Hungary’s capital is a tale of two cities, divided by the river but united in spirit. On the flat, vibrant Pest side, your exploration can begin at the Great Market Hall, a stunning steel-and-glass structure where the air is thick with the scent of paprika and fresh pastries. It’s the perfect place to sample local delicacies or find handcrafted souvenirs. From there, marvel at the immense scale of the Hungarian Parliament Building, a Gothic Revival masterpiece on the riverbank. A stroll down the elegant Andrássy Avenue, a UNESCO World Heritage site, leads you to the monumental Heroes’ Square.
Crossing the iconic Chain Bridge brings you to the hilly, historic Buda side. Ascend Castle Hill to wander through the Buda Castle district, another UNESCO gem. Here, you’ll find the whimsical turrets of Fisherman’s Bastion, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Pest and the Danube. Nearby, the Matthias Church captivates with its colorful Zsolnay-tiled roof and rich royal history. For a truly unique and restorative experience, consider a visit to one of Budapest’s famed thermal baths, like the opulent Gellért or the vast Szechenyi. Soaking in the naturally heated, mineral-rich waters is a cherished local tradition and the perfect way to unwind after your days of learning. From grand imperial history to the simple pleasure of a warm chimney cake, Budapest offers a rich, accessible, and deeply rewarding day ashore.
