SUMMARY:Full Digital Protocol: Understand the Complete Digital Workflow
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n  \nThis course introduces a streamlined\, fully digital protocol for restoring full arch implant cases using photogrammetry technology and 3D printing. Dr. Hrebeshchenko will demonstrate how full arch restorations—often requiring multiple traditional appointments—can now be completed in under two hours using an efficient digital workflow. \nAttendees will learn how to restore implants both in immediate load scenarios (following same-day surgery with a provisional hybrid) and in delayed\, Stage II cases when implants have already been placed and the clinician’s role is restorative only. \nThis course is ideal for beginner to intermediate clinicians\, as well as any restorative dentist looking to expand into the world of full arch implant restorations. \nDr. Hrebeshchenko will also provide a concise overview of key surgical components\, including implant placement principles\, MUA selection\, photogrammetry\, and intraoral scanning techniques to ensure restorative success. \nFull Digital Protocol: Understand The Complete Digital Workflow \n  \nCourse Objectives: \nBy the end of this course\, attendees will be able to: \n• Understand the complete digital workflow for full arch restorations using photogrammetry and 3D printing. \n• Differentiate between immediate loading vs. Stage II restoration protocols. \n• Confidently use photogrammetry scan bodies and perform accurate intraoral scans. \n• Identify proper selection and placement of multi-unit abutments (MUAs). \n• Compare traditional vs. digital methods and appreciate how digital saves chairtime and appointments. \n• Implement clinical strategies for efficient full arch temporization using in-office or lab-based 3D printing. \n• Understand the role of printed hybrids during healing and try-in phases \n• Understand the lab’s role in designing and milling of the final zirconia prosthesis after healing is complete \n• Gain practical tips for case planning\, communication with labs\, and patient experience optimization. \n  \nLocation: Huntsville Botanical Gardens\, 4747 Bob Wallace Ave SW\, Huntsville\, AL 358055 \nTime: 9am – 11am (registration at 8:30am) \nCE Credits and lunch will be distributed to the attendees after the completion of the course. \nCost: FREE \nCEs: 2 Lecture CE Credits \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nAGD SUBJECT CODE: 780 \nCancellation Policy: This event is FREE and there is no tuition cost.
