Lectures

In this 4-hour lecture, participants will learn foundational topics essential to Full-Arch success. Dr. Krieger will discuss Full-Arch Patient Selection, Treatment Planning, Surgical Technique and Fundamentals, and end the lecture with Complications and Management. This lecture will focus on the surgical aspects of the procedure.

This presentation is ideal for practitioners who are new to Full-Arch Surgery or have cut a few arches and want to ensure they have the proper foundational skill set and knowledge to build on. Following this lecture, participants will have confidence in the basic skill sets required to succeed in Full-Arch Surgery.

This 1-hour lecture introduces full-arch surgeons to the highly underutilized, yet highly advantageous Palatal Root Implant. The palatal root implant is one of Dr. Krieger’s most frequently used advanced techniques and one he has placed in an unparalleled volume throughout his full-arch career.

This presentation covers the Indications, Advantages, and Disadvantages of the Palatal Root Implant. Surgeons will also be taught the stepwise KPR Technique developed by Dr. Krieger for consistent, successful placement of palatal root implants during full-arch surgery.

Ideal for full-arch surgeons who want to add one of the most valuable full-arch skill sets to their toolbox and subsequently minimize the need for zygomatic implants in their practice.

This 1-hour lecture will emphasize the advantages Freehand Surgery offers the full-arch surgeon and will help build confidence and clinical techniques to consistently execute it at a high level.

Key topics include: Benefits of Developing Freehand Full-Arch Skills and Techniques, Necessary Instrumentation, Treatment Planning for Freehand Full-Arch Cases, Denoting and Marking Intra-Operative ID Points, Selecting and Correlating Radiographic and Clinical Reference Points for Intra-Operative Use, and Management of the Edentulous Arch from a Freehand Perspective.

Ideal for full-arch surgeons who want to maximize intra-operative adaptability and improve full-arch outcomes by developing a surgical skill set that is not limited by a traditional guide.

In this 1-hour lecture, surgeons will learn Prosthetic Principles necessary to master Full-Arch Surgery. This is NOT a restorative or “workflow” lecture. Dr. Krieger will discuss how the surgery itself influences the prosthetic (for better or worse) and the tools the surgeon has at their disposal to optimize the prosthetic.

Ideal for full-arch surgeons who want to improve their ability to deliver a more prosthetically driven surgery for their patients and referrals. Following this lecture, participants will have confidence in their ability to surgically influence and improve the prosthetic outcome.

In this 1-hour lecture, surgeons will learn high-yield Full-Arch Efficiency Techniques that they can use in their offices the next day. This is NOT a lecture about being “fast”. This lecture focuses on how to perform the HIGHEST SURGICAL QUALITY efficiently. This leads to an improved patient experience, limits anesthesia time, and improves the overall quality of care and the full-arch surgical result.

Ideal for full-arch surgeons who want to turn a frustrating 2, 3, or 4-hour surgery into a well-organized procedure with a focused surgical team and a higher-caliber surgical outcome, all with less surgical and anesthesia time.
