Do you like learning from the BEST? 🤩 Then come on down and join the amazing faculty of UNC Prosthodontics for the Complete Arch Prosthetic Implant Solutions CE Course on May 30th! 🎉

Nearly 40 million American adults are edentulous, and that number is not decreasing. For many of these patients, complete dentures do not provide the quality of life that they desire. Consequently, the demand for an implant-assisted solution is growing exponentially. With innovations in treatment planning, dental materials, and restorative workflows, complete arch implant prosthetics are more accessible than ever before. This lecture based and hands-on program will walk through treatment planning, immediate and delayed loading protocols, and current material options.

This program will award up to 7.0 hours of credit. ✔
