(2 DAY LECTURE – 2 DAY SURGERY)
Course Overview
Core 4: FP1–FP3 Bridges & Hybrids is a comprehensive 4-day course designed for experienced implant dentists ready to master advanced prosthetics and full-arch treatment workflows. Over two days of detailed lectures and two days of live surgery, participants will explore FP1–FP3 designs, hybrid protocols, digital vs. analog workflows, and material selection based on real-world success. You’ll perform live patient surgeries focused on reduction, MUA placement, prosthetic design, and digital capture via photogrammetry or intraoral scanning. This course is ideal for clinicians who already place hybrids but want to gain complete confidence in presenting, planning, and executing every full-arch prosthetic option with precision. Core 4 ensures you’re equipped with the knowledge, lab coordination strategies, and clinical skills to thrive in modern implantology.
