Description:

Prosthodontic principles influence far more than full-mouth rehabilitations—they shape the everyday decisions made in restorative, implant, and esthetic dentistry. This webinar explores how foundational prosthodontic concepts can elevate treatment planning, optimize material selection, and improve esthetic and functional outcomes across a wide range of clinical scenarios. Participants will learn how modern approaches to digital workflows, esthetic design, interdisciplinary communication, and patient-centered care can be incorporated into routine practice. Whether you are a general dentist, specialist, or dental student, this session will offer practical strategies to enhance outcomes, streamline workflows, and strengthen clinical decision-making. 

Learning Objectives:

• Apply key prosthodontic concepts to improve functional and esthetic outcomes in everyday restorative cases
• Evaluate treatment and material choices for single-unit to full-arch restorations with attention to patient expectations and clinical conditions
• Enhance treatment outcomes through interdisciplinary collaboration and the use of digital and innovative planning tools
