In this course, the instructor will introduce the principles and clinical application of one-piece implants for denture stabilization. Attendees will explore how bone anatomy changes over time can impact traditional denture fit, and how one-piece implants offer a minimally invasive, cost-effective solution to restore comfort and function. Through detailed instruction, this course covers the placement and strategic positioning of 2–4 one-piece implants to support overdentures. Attendees will learn how these implants prevent slippage, improve retention, and enhance patient satisfaction. Emphasis is placed on case selection, procedural steps, and post-placement care. This course is ideal for clinicians seeking to offer stable, affordable alternatives to full-arch reconstruction.
