Treating full edentulous patients with implants. Fixed or removeable?

The rehabilitation of the fully edentulous patient remains one of the most significant challenges in modern implant dentistry. While implant therapy has transformed treatment possibilities, clinicians are often faced
with a critical question: Should the prosthesis be fixed or removable?

This lecture explores the clinical decision-making process behind implant-supported full-arch rehabilitation, comparing fixed implant prostheses and implant-retained overdentures. Participants will gain practical
insights into patient selection, anatomical considerations, prosthetic design, cost factors, hygiene maintenance, and long-term outcomes. Through real clinical cases and treatment planning discussions, the session will highlight the advantages, limitations, and indications of each approach, helping clinicians determine which solution best serves their patients’ functional, aesthetic, and maintenance needs.

By the end of the lecture, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key differences between fixed and removable implant solutions
• Evaluate clinical, anatomical, and patient-related factors influencing treatment choice
• Develop a predictable treatment planning strategy for full edentulous patients
• Communicate treatment options effectively to patients

Whether you are new to implant dentistry or looking to refine your full-arch treatment protocols, this lecture will provide practical guidance and evidence-based insights to help you deliver optimal outcomes for your edentulous patients.
