A large portion of us population today is edentulous. It is estimated that over 23 million individuals are completely edentulous and 12 million are edentulous in one arch. In addition to that, we have a growing population with terminal dentition conditions. Traditionally, these patients were treated with staged implant placement and delayed loading. Such a traditional approach requires multiple surgeries and a longer treatment time. Consequently, the traditional treatment approach is associated with increased morbidity and longer healing periods. Utilizing this digital workflow for implant reconstruction to treat patients with terminal dentition and those who are fully edentulous will significantly increase predictability, and precision, and reduce treatment chair side time which overall increases patient satisfaction.
Assi earned his doctor of dental medicine degree from nova southeastern university in Florida where he also finished a post-graduate residency enhancing his skills in surgery and prosthodontics.
