Few treatments in dentistry are as demanding as full arch rehabilitation. By replacing an entire arch of missing teeth with a fixed or removable prosthesis, dental practitioners can tackle edentulism and restore function and aesthetics for patients. This can dramatically enhance their quality of life by increasing the foods they can comfortably eat, with the chance of improving diet for an overall healthier body. But delivering a full arch treatment requires extensive skill and experience – hearing from a seasoned professional can illuminate the best approach to planning such a case.
Dr Federico Brunner is a leading expert in restorative and aesthetic dentistry. As a Smile Designer and Oral Architect based in Madrid, he is known for his advanced, patient-centered approach to full mouth rehabilitation, integrating digital technology and emotional dentistry into daily practice. An international lecturer, Dr Brunner often focuses his sessions on sharing modern protocols that improve outcomes and predictability. He is also a champion for ethical cosmetic dentistry, noting:
“Every dentist has their own ethical framework that is shaped by many factors. These include their teachers, their mentors, their influences – even how they were raised. Ethics in dentistry means providing the best possible diagnosis and an interdisciplinary treatment plan. It’s about execution guided by thoughtful planning. Too many dentists jump straight into treatment without properly analysing the case. Ethical dentistry is about achieving the best long-term results biologically, functionally, and aesthetically.”
A transformative treatment
Dr Brunner will be attending the BACD 21st Annual Conference to deliver a lecture entitled “Facially Driven & Emotionally Connected Full Mouth Rehabilitation.” He outlines the content:
“In my presentation I will take you through my journey in full mouth rehabilitation, beginning with my first experience in facially guided treatment planning, and how I have developed my current protocol: EGOP – Esthetically Guided, Occlusally Protected. It will be a comprehensive exploration of a modern approach to full mouth rehabilitation – one that combines facially driven planning, emotional dentistry, and guided execution. Attendees will be immersed in workflows that bridge digital precision with care that is centered around the patient – from treatment planning to final quality control.
“There are several learning objectives that I hope attendees of the lecture will achieve. This includes understanding the principles of facially driven treatment planning and how they impact restorative outcomes, and learning how emotional dentistry influences patient experience and treatment acceptance. Another learning objective is how to apply guided workflows and reverse engineering techniques for predictable full mouth rehabilitation – I hope that these skills are then applied in daily practice to optimise patient care.
“One of the main challenges when it comes to tackling advanced cases is simplifying the clinical complexity. Transforming such a case into a clear, step-by-step plan is crucial, and having a well-defined protocol like EGOP is absolutely essential. I want attendees to feel more confident and secure when performing these treatments, eliminating stress by following a comfortable protocol and achieving excellence in complex cases.”
Calling all cosmetic dentists
Alongside his lecture, Dr Brunner will be overseeing an in-depth hands-on workshop entitled “Modern Execution of Full Mouth Rehabilitation”. This will be a practical supplement to the lecture, giving attendees a richer learning experience to empower their daily workflow. Dr Brunner elaborates on the value of attending the BACD 21st Annual Conference:
“Most aesthetic cases require a deep understanding of vertical dimension, tooth alignment, interdisciplinary collaboration and facially driven planning. For dental professionals looking to gain confidence in how to approach cosmetic cases, the conference has a rich programme of lectures, hands-on workshops and networking opportunities that make it ideal to enhance knowledge and skills.
“I am honoured to have been invited to speak – I originally came to the UK to learn English and worked here for six years, gaining invaluable experience. Many of my colleagues are members of the BACD and I consider it a beautiful and inspiring organisation that is always at the forefront of industry changes. For dental professionals with an interest in ethical cosmetic dentistry, the BACD 21st Annual Conference is the place to be – see you there.”
Along with the diverse spread of educational sessions, the event will also house a trade exhibition filled with industry leaders and the products and services that sit on the cutting edge of technology. From finding a game-changing innovation that will streamline your workflow to finding a new supplier, the trade show is always brimming with possibility.
Join in on the action and plan your trip to the BACD 21st Annual Conference today.
