Mastering contemporary implant: from single to full mouth rehabilitation. Hands-on Workshop by Stavros Pelekanos

Master the full scope of implant dentistry in this in-depth, hands-on course led by Stavros Pelekanos — from straightforward single-implant cases to advanced full-arch reconstructions (All-on-X).

Through comprehensive theoretical sessions and an intensive practical module, this course provides a step-by-step approach to predictable, functional, and aesthetic implant treatment.

Key topics:

– Prosthetically driven implant positioning
– Implant design and abutment selection for long-term function and aesthetics
– Creating the digital patient using Face Hunter and Plane Analyzer
– Implant design and abutment selection: customized vs. prefabricated abutments, screw-retained vs. cement-retained restorations
– Full-arch implant reconstruction: from FP1 to FP3.

During the hands-on workshop, you will perform:

– Immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone (#2.1) with soft tissue management
– Placement of two implants (#2.5 and #2.7) and customization of the emergence profile with Cervico technique.

The course also includes a live demonstration by Stavros Pelekanos covering the complete digital workflow of Smilecloud for single-implant and full-mouth rehabilitation cases.

By the end of this course, participants will leave with a clear, repeatable strategy for managing a wide range of implant cases with confidence, predictability, and clinical excellence.

What makes this program unique?

– Comprehensive Approach: Covers the full implant spectrum — simple posterior implants, immediate placements, tissue augmentation, and full-arch rehabilitations
– Structured Progression: The course is designed to evolve from basic procedures to complex clinical cases, building both foundational knowledge and advanced competence.

– Integrated Disciplines: Learn how to unify:

- Aesthetics and smile design
- Bone biology and tissue management
- Prosthetic-driven implant planning
- Biomechanics and occlusal considerations
- Hands-On Mastery: Gain practical experience in each module through simulated models and clinical scenarios.
