Prosthodontic Preparation before Implant

Learn More About the Course

In the world of implant dentistry, the prosthetic plan must always come first — not the implant. And yet, in daily practice, we often see the reverse: implants placed with little or no attention to prosthodontic needs. This course focuses on correcting that critical imbalance. Here, we explore the prosthodontic preparation phase before implant placement. What do we need to plan before the surgical phase? How can a thorough prosthetic diagnosis guide not just implant position, but also angulation, depth, emergence profile, and eventual restoration longevity? But it’s not just theory. We’ll work through the decision-making logic step by step: Is the case more suited for screw-retained or cemented restoration? How do we simulate the final prosthesis digitally or manually before implant surgery? What about occlusion, esthetic zones, or vertical space — how do they influence the prosthetic design? You’ll discover that implant success begins with prosthodontic clarity.
