IIWhat he teaches

Full-arch surgery, from plan to prosthesis.

  • How much is enough

    How many teeth, and how many implants, a full arch really needs. Anatomy and arch size decide, with the aim of avoiding cantilevers.

  • Remote anchorage

    Zygomatic and pterygoid implants for the atrophic upper jaw, exhausting every implant location before going to the zygoma.

  • Immediate load

    When to load immediately, which in his practice is almost always, and the exceptions.

  • Prosthetic decisions

    When a full-arch prosthesis needs titanium-bar reinforced zirconia, and why poorly made prosthetics ruin good surgery.

  • The digital conversion

    His digital and analog workflow, from preoperative records to provisionals delivered within 24 hours.

  • Complex and revision cases

    Full-arch treatment after facial trauma, for severe bone loss and cleft palate, and the revision of failed implant work.

IIIFrom the operatory

“Many surgeons become more conservative over the years, not the other way around.”

Adaptability, in his view, is one of the most important qualities a surgeon can have.
