Course Description

The AOS/ASAPS 2026 Biennial Conference unites leading experts in osseointegration, prosthodontics and aesthetic plastic surgery for three days of advanced education, collaboration
and innovation in Melbourne. The “Beyond the Horizon” theme invites clinicians to challenge assumptions, explore emerging techniques and technologies, and engage in dynamic discussions that shape the future of patient-centred care, making the pre-conference workshop is the ideal way to gain practical skills and maximise the value of the meeting.

PRE CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

Integration of Digital Technologies to Deliver Predictable Full-Arch Prostheses with the Osstem OneGuide Approach.
Full-arch implant rehabilitation has rapidly evolved with the integration of advanced digital workflows. By combining precise digital diagnostics, prosthetically driven planning, and guided surgery, clinicians can significantly improve treatment accuracy, efficiency, and long-term predictability. This comprehensive hands-on workshop, led by Dr Tuan Dao, will present a structured digital workflow for managing full-arch implant cases using the Osstem OneGuide system. Participants will gain practical insights into how digital technologies can be effectively integrated into daily clinical practice —from diagnosis and treatment planning to guided implant placement and prosthetic delivery. Dr Dao will share his clinical approach developed through years of experience in full-arch implant rehabilitation, highlighting how digital planning and guided surgical protocols can help clinicians achieve more predictable surgical and restorative outcomes while improving the overall patient experience.

Key Learning Objective

Participants will learn:

• Case selection and digital data acquisition
• Digital treatment planning for full-arch rehabilitation
• Surgical guide design using the Osstem OneGuide approach
• Prosthetically driven implant placement
• Streamlining communication between the clinician, laboratory, and surgical team
• Strategies to reduce complications and improve treatment predictability
