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.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants 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.
