Plan
Start with the restorative endpoint. Assess the case, the patient’s goals and the alternatives.

The 7Ps.
The full picture.
A two-day programme connecting the restorative endpoint with surgical, biological and digital decision-making.
2 daysLondon & PerthDr Arman Barfeie
Prosthetically driven. Biologically informed.
A connected approachEvery stage shapes
Every stage shapes
the final result.
FP1 Full-Arch Implantology brings case selection, tissue preservation, implant and abutment planning, provisionalisation and definitive prosthetic design into one framework.
Through clinical cases, practical planning and surgical teaching, you’ll examine how choices at one stage affect the stages that follow—and practise communicating the plan across the clinical and laboratory team.
London combines theory and workshops with planned live-surgery observation. Perth uses recorded surgery with live commentary and discussion.
Learning outcomes
Understand the decisions behind the treatment.
01
Assess case suitability and recognise when a different restorative approach is more appropriate.
02
Develop a restorative proposal and identify tissue-preservation priorities.
03
Critique implant positioning, platform choices and abutment considerations.
04
Evaluate emergence contours, hygiene access and provisional design.
05
Prepare a laboratory prescription covering design, fit, materials and occlusion.
06
Recognise biological, aesthetic, mechanical and workflow risks.
The framework
The 7Ps of FP1.
Preserve
Recognise the value of existing tissues and plan how to maintain them.
Position
Connect the prosthetic plan with three-dimensional implant placement.
Platform
Consider abutments, restorative space and the implant–prosthesis interface.
Profile
Understand how emergence contours and soft tissues influence one another.
Provisionalise
Use the provisional phase to assess, communicate and refine the result.
Prosthesis
Bring design, fit, materials, function and maintenance together.
Who should attendFor the clinician.
For the clinician.
For the technician.
For the whole plan.
Implant-placing dentists
The intended starting experience is at least 10 implants placed independently. Standard FP1 registration is direct; an application is not required.
Restorative clinicians and dental technicians
You’re welcome to attend to develop your understanding of the integrated workflow. An implant-placement count does not apply to technicians.
When to start elsewhere
If you’re seeking your first implant-placement training, begin with foundational implant education. Attendance is not a qualification to undertake independent full-arch surgery.

Choosing your course
FP1 implant course: your questions.
Who teaches the course?
Dr Arman Barfeie, Specialist Prosthodontist and founder of OPRA, teaches the 7Ps approach to FP1 full-arch implantology, connecting prosthodontic planning with surgical, biological and digital decisions.
Who is the programme for?
Implant-placing dentists should have independently placed at least 10 implants. Restorative clinicians and dental technicians are welcome for learning relevant to their role. Read the professional suitability and booking information before registering.
Does the London course include live surgery?
The London programme combines theory and workshops with planned live-surgery observation. Clinical teaching depends on patient suitability, consent and wellbeing; the selected case determines the stages demonstrated.
