Summary - Managing Complications from Single Implants to Full Arch: Prevention, Diagnosis and Clinical Solutions

This course is designed for clinicians involved in implant dentistry seeking practical strategies to prevent, recognise and manage complications across the full spectrum of implant treatment—from single implant restorations through to complex full-arch rehabilitation.

This 5-hour clinical presentation provides an in-depth exploration of the biological, surgical, prosthetic and restorative complications clinicians may encounter throughout implant treatment. Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Dr Larry Benge will discuss the challenges that can arise during treatment planning, surgical placement, restoration and long-term maintenance, with practical guidance on achieving more predictable outcomes.

The session will focus on evidence-based approaches to minimising complications through careful case selection, comprehensive treatment planning and sound clinical protocols. Attendees will gain valuable insight into identifying early warning signs, managing complications effectively and implementing practical solutions that support long-term implant success.

Using a range of real-world patient cases—from single implants to advanced full-arch rehabilitation—Dr Benge will demonstrate clinical decision-making, diagnosis, complication management and treatment outcomes. These case discussions will provide practical learning opportunities while encouraging open discussion around treatment planning, troubleshooting and contingency strategies.

Key learning areas include:

Prevention and risk mitigation strategies across implant therapy
Diagnosis and management of biological, surgical, prosthetic and restorative complications
Treatment planning considerations for predictable outcomes
Management of complications from single implants to full-arch rehabilitation
