Course Overview

Join this immersive two-day summit in the San Diego / La Jolla area focused on structured digital protocols for guided surgery and prosthetic delivery of immediate FP1 full-arch implant prostheses.
You’ll see the complete clinical and laboratory workflow in real time—designed to help you build repeatable, team-friendly systems for diagnosis, planning, surgery, and prosthetic delivery.

A major highlight is a live surgical conversion of terminal dentition to full-arch implants, followed by a complete prosthetic workflow using photogrammetry. The curriculum emphasizes facially driven digital data acquisition,
AI-assisted treatment planning, 4D occlusion concepts, digital design, and real-world execution from start to finish.
