Abstarct: All on X digital model-less workflow is now feasible with the integration of interactive implant planning software, guided implant surgery, intra-oral scanning (IOS), 3D printing, photogrammetry and CAD-CAM technologies, which significantly reducing the number of appointments, chair-time and turnover time of days instead of weeks. Various digital workflows have been developed to record accurate implant positions and capture the bite for the All-on-X technique. Immediate loading can be effectively achieved through the use of prefabricated temporary paired with stackable guided surgery. This technique necessitates precise implant placement within a narrow threshold, ensuring luting of temporary cylinders to the temporary restoration. Recent advancements in 3D printing technology and nano-ceramic resin materials have opened up new possibilities for creating same-day post-surgical temporary without the need for temporary cylinders. Clinicians can fabricate highly accurate and detailed temporary that fits Multi-Unit Abutments (MUA) directly. This approach is beneficial for both freehand and guided surgical techniques.

Immediate implant placement can be challenging, especially in the aesthetic zone. How can we persistently achieve predictable results and longevity of the treatment? Immediate implant placement and provisionalisation (IIPP) is a well-documented treatment modality with long-term success rate. The key is understanding the perfect balance of biology and prosthetics to achieve a natural, harmonised outcome. Understanding the limitations and different techniques of hard tissue grafting and soft tissue manipulation procedures will facilitate achievement of optimal aesthetic outcome in complex cases. This course aims at explaining the indication, diagnosis, planning and execution with focus on current technologies and concepts to guide you through the thinking process.
