Course Description

This one-hour continuing education program covers case selection, restorative planning and the guided surgical protocol for FP1 full-arch treatment using GuidedSMILE Natural and the new Universal Shaper workflow.

You will learn how to assess whether a patient is a true FP1 candidate, which bone, soft-tissue and lip-line findings push a case toward FP3, and why committing to a treatment plan at the initial assessment is a mistake. The program also shows how the final tooth position is planned in exocad and RealGUIDE, and how that plan dictates implant depth, configuration and MUA selection.

You will then follow the FP1 stackable guide sequence step by step: seating the fixation base, preparing osteotomies, profiling implant and pontic sites with the Universal Shaper Kit, placing implants and converting to a temporary bridge. It closes with bridge shaping and suturing techniques that help soft tissue heal into a natural emergence, illustrated with a clinical case.
