Course Description:

This course aims to address the most common questions and complications faced in full-arch implant reconstruction. Attendees will be introduced to a protocol called GuidedSMILE CHROME, which improves surgical and restorative accuracy and efficiency using CBCT and 3D planning combined with CAD/CAM. This new protocol, combined with Dr. Kazemi’s evidence-based, surgical techniques will elevate your surgical process for full-arch treatment to a new level of accuracy and efficiency. GuidedSMILE offers 2-3 hour surgery/conversion appointments and reduces the final conversion by 2-5 appointments!

The hands-on portion includes step-by-step restorative conversion on a model using the patent-pending, GuidedSMILE technique.  and conversion of a pre-manufactured PMMA provisional bridge. This will be completed utilizing angled implants and multi-unit abutments, thereby preparing the clinician to incorporate these immediately into clinical practice, without the need for chairside laboratory assistance. The converted prosthetic will then be sectioned and luted together to simulate the patent-pending iJIG – a hassle-free tool used for final conversion.
