Course Overview
This immersive, hands-on FP1 course is designed for clinicians seeking mastery of FP1 full-arch diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical execution, prosthetic design, and delivery, with a strong emphasis on Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) as a biologic foundation for predictable esthetic outcomes. Participants will learn how to integrate biologic decision-making, free-handed, guided, and robotic-assisted surgery, and InstaRisa digital prosthetic workflows to deliver FP1 cases efficiently and predictably from start to finish.
Learning Objectives
Diagnose and treatment plan FP1 cases versus FP2 and FP3 using a structured decision-making framework
Apply Partial Extraction Therapy principles to preserve hard and soft tissue architecture
Perform FP1 surgery using free-handed, guided, and robotic-assisted approaches, including flap vs flapless decision-making
Design FP1 prosthetics using InstaRisa digital workflows and exocad, optimizing emergence profiles, occlusion, and materials
Coordinate surgical and prosthetic workflows for predictable FP1 delivery
Improve case acceptance using AI-driven digital presentation tools and communication pearls
