Dr. Logan Locke joins us to unravel the innovations behind the three on six FP1 full arch method. Discover how Dr. Locke's journey alongside Dr. Randy Roberts, starting with affordable single implants in Utah, evolved into groundbreaking procedures like all-on-x and the three on six approach. Learn how these segmented arches, supported by six implants, offer both cost and functional advantages over traditional methods, and hear about the early challenges they faced, from milling limitations to achieving cost efficiency.

Explore the strategies Dr. Locke employs to manage implant bridge failures and the solutions necessary for long-term success. We delve into the flexibility of treatment plans, such as transitioning from three on six to two on five designs, and the critical importance of maintaining bone integrity. Special considerations for younger patients are discussed, alongside the potential implications of initial bone removal and the role of FP3 prosthetics. We also touch on advanced solutions like zygomatic implants, which extend the lifespan and effectiveness of dental treatments.

In this episode, we explore the intricacies of prosthetic placement and surgical workflows in dental surgeries. Dr. Locke shares insights on how prosthetics influence bone resorption and tissue development, emphasizing the transition from cement-retained to screw-retained systems. Discover the strategic use of multi-unit abutments to maintain implant integrity, and learn about the challenges and benefits of in-house prosthetic production. With a focus on atraumatic extractions and the importance of avoiding unnecessary bone removal, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the techniques that enhance patient outcomes in implant dentistry.
