The treatment of complete and/or single arch edentulism remains a significant priority for dental clinicians. Patients also have emphasized immediate load or restorations with dental implants and often request complex full-arch treatments with shorter treatment times and fewer appointments. Digital technologies can optimize these treatments. This presentation will begin with a review of diagnosis and treatment planning for edentulous patients. This topic will be followed by a discussion of proper case selection, loading protocols, team approach, and prosthetic procedures that play a role in complex therapies. In concert with these topics, new materials, technologies, and prosthetic treatment modalities will be presented that allow clinicians to gain an understanding of recent advances in dental implant componentry. At last, the potential complications and management of these complications of the implant prostheses will be reviewed and discussed.
