This intensive two-day bootcamp takes you through the entire All-on-X treatment workflow – from patient assessment and digital planning to guided implant surgery, same-day temporary delivery, and final prosthesis protocols. The program covers every phase comprehensively, with a particular emphasis on modern digital workflows that make full-arch treatment more predictable, efficient, and reproducible.
Whether you’re stepping into full-arch treatment for the first time or you’re already performing these cases and want to upgrade your systems, this program gives you a clear protocol you can implement immediately.
You won’t just learn the theory. You’ll work through every critical step hands-on – placing implants with stackable guided systems, picking up pre-fabricated temporaries, taking splinted impressions, and capturing photogrammetry records – all on realistic models with the same instruments and components you’ll use in practice.
The principles taught are system-agnostic and applicable to all implant platforms. You’ll leave with workflows and skills that transfer to whichever system you use in your practice.
Ready to Start Full-Arch Treatment?
You’ve completed implant training and are confident with single-tooth and short-span cases. This program gives you a structured, hands-on pathway into full-arch implant rehabilitation – with the planning tools, surgical protocols, and prosthetic workflows to get started with confidence.
Already Treating Full-Arch Cases?
You’re performing or restoring full-arch cases and want to take your practice to the next level. This program introduces modern digital workflows – stackable guided surgery, photogrammetry-verified impressions, and same-day digitally fabricated temporization – that improve predictability, efficiency, and outcomes. Refine your existing protocols and integrate the latest techniques into your workflow.
Lab Technicians, Denturists & CDAs
While the program is designed from the dentist’s clinical perspective, lab technicians, denturists, and certified dental assistants will gain tremendous value from understanding the complete All-on-X workflow, digital planning processes, prosthetic design considerations, and the clinical decision-making that drives the cases they support. The same tuition fee applies.
We recommend that all participants have foundational implant knowledge or clinical experience. This is an advanced program that assumes familiarity with implant treatment planning, CBCT interpretation, implant placement, and single-unit implant prosthetics.
Complete Workflow, Start to Finish
This isn’t a lecture on one piece of the puzzle. You’ll learn and practice the entire All-on-X process – from diagnosis and digital planning through surgery, temporization, impressions, and final prosthesis delivery.
Modern Digital Protocols
Heavy emphasis on the digital workflows that are transforming full-arch treatment – stackable guided surgery, photogrammetry, and same-day 3D-printed temporization – while still covering traditional techniques for clinical flexibility.
Stackable Guided Surgery
One guide system that takes you from bone reduction through implant placement to immediate temporary pick-up. Less guesswork, more precision, fewer steps.
Two Temporization Pathways
Master both the pre-fabricated stackable guide temporary and the photogrammetry-based same-day printed temporary workflow. Two options for different clinical scenarios.
Photogrammetry Training
Hands-on experience with photogrammetry for implant-level position verification – the gold standard for achieving passive fit in full-arch cases.
Hands-On Throughout
This is not a lecture course with a brief workshop at the end. Hands-on exercises are woven throughout both days, so you practice each phase of the workflow immediately after learning it.
Small Group, Expert Instruction
Limited to 16 participants and taught by Dr. Faraj Edher, a prosthodontist with extensive experience in full-arch implant rehabilitation and education.
The curriculum covers the complete All-on-X treatment journey:
Assess failing and terminal dentition cases. Evaluate edentulous patients. Determine prosthesis type based on prosthetic space, OVD, lip support, and aesthetic requirements. Present treatment options to increase case acceptance.
Implant number and distribution. Prosthetic space assessment. FP1, FP3, and overdenture classification. Material selection across zirconia, titanium-acrylic, PMMA, and PEEK. Prosthetic tissue junction considerations.
Virtual implant planning and guide design. Stackable guided surgery concepts and workflow. Guide fabrication and 3D printing. Pre-fabrication of the temporary prosthesis through the guide system. CBCT and intraoral scan integration.
Alveolar bone reduction principles and technique. Guided implant placement using the stackable system. Multi-unit abutment selection and torque protocols. Immediate loading criteria and surgical complication management.
Two complete pathways: pre-fabricated temporary pick-up via the stackable guide system, and same-day 3D-printed temporary using photogrammetry and chairside printing. Plus traditional conversion techniques for alternative scenarios.
Open-tray splinted impression technique. Photogrammetry for implant-level verification. Digital scanning workflows. Passive fit verification and records transfer to the lab.
Framework try-in, prototype evaluation, material selection, insertion protocols, and occlusal management. Occlusal schemes for full-arch prostheses. Managing occlusion against natural teeth, removable prostheses, and opposing implant prostheses.
Surgical, prosthetic, mechanical, and biological complications. Troubleshooting non-passive frameworks. Recall protocols, professional maintenance, patient home care, and long-term monitoring.
You’ll get your hands on every critical phase of the workflow:

This program is supported by leading industry partners whose systems are used for the hands-on and demonstration components. The principles and workflows taught are system-agnostic and applicable to all implant systems.
This program is designed for dentists with implant experience who want to start performing full-arch cases, as well as those who are already doing full-arch work and want to upgrade their workflows with modern digital protocols. Lab technicians, denturists, and CDAs are also welcome – the program is taught from the dentist’s clinical perspective, but provides valuable insight into the full All-on-X workflow for the entire team.
Absolutely. Even experienced full-arch practitioners find significant value in this program. The emphasis on stackable guided surgery, photogrammetry-verified impressions, and same-day digital temporization workflows represents the latest evolution in full-arch protocols. If you’re currently using freehand or partially guided approaches, traditional impression methods, or conventional temporization, this course will give you more efficient, predictable, and reproducible systems.
We recommend foundational implant knowledge or clinical experience. This is an advanced program that assumes you’re comfortable with implant treatment planning, CBCT interpretation, implant placement, and single-unit prosthetics. Graduates of our Implant Training Program or comparable comprehensive programs are well-prepared for this course.
The primary focus is single-tooth anterior implants, but the program also addresses anterior implant-supported bridges. The principles of aesthetic risk assessment, soft tissue management, and digital workflows apply across both scenarios.
The hands-on components use specific implant and digital planning systems provided by Nobel Biocare. However, the principles, workflows, and decision-making taught are system-agnostic and applicable to different systems.
Yes. You’ll perform guided implant placement, abutment selection, temporary pick-up, splinted impressions, and photogrammetry scanning hands-on on models throughout the two days. The digital planning software and 3D printing workflow are presented as live demonstrations.
A stackable guide system uses a single master guide as the foundation for multiple clinical steps – bone reduction, implant placement, and temporary prosthesis fabrication. Instead of separate guides for each phase, the components stack onto a common base, improving accuracy and efficiency while simplifying the surgical workflow.
No. The program covers the complete All-on-X treatment process comprehensively – diagnosis, treatment planning, prosthesis design, surgery, temporization, impressions, final prosthesis, occlusion, complications, and maintenance. Digital workflows are emphasized because they represent the most significant advancement in how full-arch cases are planned and executed, but traditional techniques are also covered to ensure you have options for every clinical scenario.
