ProArch® Prosthetics
3-Day Intensive Prosthetic Course.
Course description
Full-arch implant rehabilitation represents one of the most demanding areas of modern implant dentistry. The success of treatment depends not only on properly executed surgery but, above all, on strategic prosthetic planning, which determines the esthetics, function, and long-term stability of the restoration.
The ProArch® Prosthetics Course has been designed as a comprehensive training program covering the entire treatment process – from diagnosis, through temporary prosthetic planning and integration with the surgical concept, to the fabrication and delivery of the final restoration.
The course is based on real clinical protocols used at SmileClinic Advanced Implant Center, where numerous full-arch implant rehabilitations are performed each year.
Participants will learn a modern digital implant-prosthetic workflow, integrating diagnostics, digital planning, and efficient collaboration with the dental laboratory.
Who is this course for
During the training participants will learn:
✔ how to qualify patients for full-arch implant treatment
✔ when to apply FP1 and FP3 restoration concepts
✔ how to design temporary prosthetic restorations before surgery
✔ how to integrate prosthetic planning with implant placement planning
✔ how to utilize digital diagnostic and planning tools
✔ how to design and verify a prototype of the final prosthesis
✔ how to collaborate effectively with a dental laboratory within a digital workflow
✔ how to deliver a final prosthesis in a safe and predictable way
✔ how to manage patients during healing and follow-up care
