What is the

FP1 course?

The FP1 Course is an intensive three-day program focused on the perio-prostho principles behind aesthetic implant rehabilitation.

Throughout the course, clinicians explore full-arch protocols, peri-implant soft-tissue management, and the biological foundations required for predictable FP1-type treatments.

Combining theoretical insight, hands-on exercises and a full-arch live surgery, the program is designed to transform advanced concepts into practical surgical skills. Every moment is structured to refine clinical decision-making, strengthen technical precision and provide a clear, reproducible framework for managing complex aesthetic implant cases.

The FP1 Course is an immersive learning experience that brings together knowledge, practice and real surgical exposure—always with the goal of elevating clinical excellence.
