Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation Enters Its Digital Era
For decades, restoring the fully edentulous jaw with a fixed prosthesis was defined almost entirely by surgery: where to place the implants, how to angle them, and how to load them. The arrival of the Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation (FAIR) approach changed the conversation by combining axial anterior implants with tilted posterior implants to support an immediate, fixed, esthetic prosthesis — frequently without bone grafting. The fully revised second edition of Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation by Dr Arun K. Garg takes that foundation and rebuilds it around the technology now transforming everyday practice.
What stands out in this edition is how thoroughly the digital workflow has been integrated. New chapters address CBCT-guided planning, photogrammetry for accurate full-arch capture, and facial scanning to align the prosthetic result with the patient's smile and facial proportions. These are not peripheral add-ons — they are increasingly the standard of care that referring clinicians and patients expect, and they directly affect predictability, chair time, and the quality of the final result.
Why this matters now
The demographic pressure behind full-arch therapy is only growing. Populations are ageing, more patients are reaching later life with failing dentition rather than long-standing edentulism, and expectations for a fixed, natural-looking result are higher than ever. At the same time, intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, and in-house design have moved from early-adopter novelties into mainstream workflows. A reference that connects a proven surgical protocol to these tools — and shows the modifications needed for the fully and partially edentulous maxilla and mandible — is exactly what a modern implant practice needs on the shelf.
Garg also looks beyond the operatory. Chapters on patient-perceived barriers to treatment and on marketing a full-arch practice acknowledge a clinical reality: the best protocol still has to reach the patients who need it. For practices building a full-arch service line, that combination of surgical, prosthetic, and practice-development guidance is genuinely useful.

Q&A
What is the FAIR protocol in full-arch implant treatment?
FAIR (Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation) combines axial anterior implants with tilted posterior implants to support an immediate, fixed full-arch prosthesis, often avoiding the need for bone grafting.
How does digital dentistry change full-arch rehabilitation?
CBCT planning, photogrammetry, and facial scanning improve the accuracy of implant positioning and prosthetic design, supporting more predictable results and a smoother immediate-loading workflow.
Is full-arch rehabilitation suitable for partially edentulous patients?
Yes. The book dedicates separate chapters to the fully and partially edentulous maxilla and mandible, with technique modifications for each scenario.
Who should read Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation?
Implant surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative teams, as well as dental faculties and hospital dental departments building a full-arch service.
