Video Lectures 
Video Lecture 1 

Immediate Loading: principles 
This introductory lecture comprises a review of the literature published by Dr Degidi in over 
30 years of clinical experience. It addresses then an analysis of the basic principles at the 
basis of immediate loading in oral implantology. 

Video Lecture 2 

Immediate Loading: check list 
This video lecture provides a list of the components necessary to successfully carry out 
immediate loading protocols as described by Dr. Degidi.  
This first part of the checklist deals with all the characteristics of the abutments and 
designs mandatory to handle single and multiple restorations, temporary and definitive 
restorations; the components necessary to stabilize the abutments by means of wires and 
bending instruments are dealt with according to the Welding method devised by Dr. Degidi. 

Video Lecture 3 

Immediate Loading: technology checklist 
In this second part of the section dedicated to immediate loading checklist the WeldOne 
concept and technology are introduced to the learner. WeldOne allows to assemble 
titanium components in the oral cavity to directly stabilize both the temporary and 
permanent prosthesis. 

Video Lecture 4 

Pro-shell manufacturing: analogic technique 
Dr. Marco Degidi, together with the technician Gianluca Sedinolfi, shows how to make 
prosthetic shells using an analogic/manual technique. The realization of the shells allows to 
manage the immediate load easily and cost-effectively, and represents a key element of Dr. 
Degidi's working philosophy. 

Video Lecture 5 

Pro-shell manufacturing: digital technique 
Dr. Marco Degidi, together with the technician Gianluca Sedinolfi, shows how to make 
prosthetic shells via digital workflow and technologies, including CAD-CAM and the direct 
printing technique. Finally, the pros and cons of the above-mentioned techniques will be 
thoroughly analyzed, as well as the digital workflow created by Dr. Marco Degidi's team. 

Video Lecture 6 

Pro-shell manufacturing: single tooth 
This lecture will teach you how to produce prosthesis for single elements starting from 
commercially available teeth, thanks to a a simple, convenient and time effective approach, 
aimed at granting a ready to use prosthesis in a few hours for those patients with missing 
teeth in the esthetic area.  You will also learn how to produce single tooth shells, both direct 
and indirect, via digital workflow, and when to use shells made with hybrid or integral 
ceramics. 

Video Lecture 7 

Immediate Loading single tooth: risk or benefit? 
The immediate load of the single element is the most frequent procedure a surgeon meets 
in his/her daily practice, and must be addressed with a predictable, minimally invasive and 
inexpensive treatment plan. In this lecture we learn how to manage the single implant 
immediate loading, when it is better to avoid immediate loading, what are the inclusion 
and exclusion criteria and how to manage also the post-extraction sockets according to the 
different clinical studies carried out by Dr. Marco Degidi. 

Video Lecture 8 

Immediate Loading single tooth: post-extraction 
The management of healed post-extraction sockets does not represent the ideal clinical 
situation for immediate loading restoration of single elements. 
In this lesson you will learn how to manage post-extraction sites with immediate loading. 
This topic has been extensively addressed by Dr. Degidi's studies, which have made it 
possible to define the points that determine success in this technique considered risky and 
how to make them reproducible regardless of the clinician operator. 

Video Lecture 9 

Immediate Loading single tooth: gap free restoration 
In this video you will learn how to use the conometric method for the single tooth and 
avoid cements and screws for fixing the single tooth components. We will describe the 
components for temporary and definitive crowns, as well as how to successfully manage 
this revolutionary and time-saving process with immediate benefits for the practice and the 
patient. 

Video Lecture 10 

Immediate Loading: partially edentulous 
The immediate loading for patients suffering from partial edentulousness in the anterior 
sectors is a real necessity, while the same clinical situation in posterior sectors might allow 
the operator not to come up with the prosthesis the very same day. In this lecture we will 
learn how to identify all the elements to be taken into consideration - both anatomically 
and surgically - in order to achieve maximum stability in post-extraction sockets, and how 
to manage the screwed-down implant level and abutment level bridges. 

Video Lecture 11 

Immediate Loading: anterior partially edentulous 
In this lecture you will learn how to manage the prosthetic rehabilitation of anterior sectors 
with immediate loading using the conometric concept, as well as how to stabilize multiple 
rehabilitations of both temporary and definitive crowns. 

Video Lecture 12 

Immediate Loading: posterior partially edentulous 
In this lecture you will learn how to manage the prosthetic rehabilitation of posterior 
sectors with immediate loading using the conometric concept, as well as how to use the 
shells and how to stabilize multiple rehabilitations of both temporary and definitive crowns. 

Video Lecture 13 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - socket fit or hybrid 
In this lecture you will learn how to manage the prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous 
and terminal dentition patient. The key factors to be taken into consideration and the 
decisions to be made will be thoroughly addressed: teeth with pink gums or without gums? 
The author presents several clinical cases concerning different rehabilitation treatments, 
and discusses the decisions that determined the success. 

Video Lecture 14 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - temporary or final 
In this second lecture on prosthetic rehabilitation in totally edentulous and terminal 
dentition patients we will delve into the choice between temporary prosthesis or 
permanent prosthesis. Dr. Degidi introduces an intermediate prosthetic solution he defines 
as "durable", for limited but distinctive selection of the immediate load. The author 
presents several clinical cases on different rehabilitation treatments and discusses the 
decisions that determined the success. 

Video Lecture 15 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - screw retained or conometric? 
In this third lesson concerning the prosthetic rehabilitation in totally edentulous and 
terminal dentition patients, you will learn when to choose between implant-level screw
retained prosthetic rehabilitation, traditional abutment-level prosthesis or conometric 
rehabilitation protocols. The lecture will also provide you with indications concerning 
techniques and procedures. 

Video Lecture 16 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - mandible critical thinking 
In this fourth lesson on prosthetic rehabilitation in totally edentulous and terminal 
dentition patients, you will learn more about the different strategies to make a Durable 
prosthesis, as defined by Dr. Degidi. 
The determining factors for the success of the implant-supported prosthesis with 
immediate loading - especially relevant in the management of critical situations and 
complex cases- will be at the very center of the discussion, with particular regards on 
prosthetic cantilever management, the strength of the structure and the antagonist arch 
analysis. 

Video Lecture 17 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - maxilla part 1 
This lecture on the prosthetic rehabilitation of the fully edentulous patient shows a full-arch 
implant restoration with immediate loading in the upper jaw. 
Dr. Degidi discusses the key factors at the basis of the rehabilitation treatment of the 
edentulous upper jaw as well as the most effective strategies according to his direct clinical 
experience. 

Video Lecture 18 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - maxilla part 2 
This second lecture on the prosthetic rehabilitation of the completely edentulous maxilla 
shows a full-arch implant restoration with immediate loading performed in an atrophic 
upper jaw. 

Video Lecture 19 

Immediate Loading: Full Arches - massively atrophic maxilla 
This third lecture on the prosthetic rehabilitation of completely edentulous arches shows a 
full-arch implant restoration with immediate loading in a severely atrophic case. The 
restoration is carried out using advanced techniques and zygomatic implants.
