This session will provide comprehensive surgical and prosthodontic evaluation of the full-arch dental immediate-load implant patient who has a simultaneous dentofacial deformity and malocclusion. After identifying the patient characteristics that benefit from this combined approach, digital vs analog prosthodontic work-up and virtual surgical planning for the orthognathic surgical work-up and treatment planning will be detailed. Following the planning phase, the surgical phase, and how a combined approach differs from an isolated orthognathic surgery or isolated full-arch case will be reviewed. Post-operative pearls and complications will be discussed as well.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Identify patients who can benefit from combined orthognathic surgery and full-arch dental implant reconstruction of the jaws.
- Explain how intraoperatively simultaneous orthognathic surgery and full-arch implant reconstruction differs from isolated orthognathic surgery or isolated full-arch implant therapy.
- Discuss technological advances to digitally plan the prosthodontic, implant, and orthognathic surgery.
