As demand for full arch implant solutions continues to rise, Pikos Institute is proud to launch a fully restructured two-course pathway that addresses the needs of both emerging and experienced clinicians. Featuring a new Level 1 Full Arch Implant Boot Camp and a newly positioned Level 2 All-on-XYZ course, this educational sequence provides a comprehensive and progressive roadmap for success in implant dentistry.

Designed by world-renowned oral surgeon Dr. Michael A. Pikos, this two-tiered learning format reflects decades of surgical expertise and real-world case experience. The new structure bridges the gap between traditional implant training and the evolving complexities of full arch procedures—offering attendees a step-by-step guide to confidence, clarity, and long-term clinical success.

Building the Foundation: Level 1 Full Arch Implant Boot Camp

The Full Arch Implant Boot Camp – Overdentures to All-on-XYZ for Beginners is a true foundational course that empowers doctors who have already placed single or multiple implants but are ready to enter the full arch space. With many courses skipping over the basics or focusing only on advanced cases, this Boot Camp fills a critical gap—offering clear guidance, structured learning, and team-oriented strategies for success.

This three-day course covers the full scope of early full arch workflows, including case selection, CBCT analysis, digital planning, diagnostic workups, and patient communication. Attendees observe live surgeries and follow the treatment plan from diagnosis to provisionalization, focusing on both overdenture cases and All-on-XYZ introductions. Lectures are paired with hands-on sessions using anatomical models and guided prosthetic demonstrations to reinforce learning in real time.

“We created this course to fill a critical gap in implant education,” said Dr. Michael A. Pikos, Founder and CEO of Pikos Institute. “The Boot Camp gives clinicians a solid, step-by-step foundation for confidently entering the world of full arch implant dentistry—from overdentures to All-on-XYZ protocols.”

With content tailored for general dentists and early-stage implant providers, the course also provides key systems for building a full arch service line—from lab communication and digital workflows to post-op care and patient follow-through. The result is a course that not only builds clinical skill, but also sets participants up for sustainable, scalable growth in their practices.

Taking It Further: Level 2 Full Arch Therapy with All-on-XYZ

For clinicians with more experience in full arch implant therapy, the Foundational Full Arch Therapy Demystified: All-on-XYZ course delivers deeper insights into complex case management and long-term success strategies. This course repositions one of the Institute’s most popular programs into a Level 2 format, making space for more nuanced discussions, advanced techniques, and refined restorative workflows.

The “All-on-XYZ” approach—developed by Dr. Pikos—emphasizes a comprehensive triad:
Implant (X), Bone (Y), and Soft Tissue (Z). Each of these factors plays a critical role in determining surgical outcomes, esthetic success, and long-term implant health.

This advanced-level course offers detailed modules on maxillary and mandibular anatomy, grafting considerations, flap design, soft tissue stability, and prosthetic planning. Through live surgery observation, attendees see full arch concepts brought to life—from guided implant placement and immediate loading to full-contour prosthesis delivery.

“This course is for clinicians who are ready to go deeper,” said Dr. Pikos. “We focus on how anatomical limitations, grafting strategies, and prosthetic design work together to create long-term, esthetic success in full arch implant dentistry.”

Attendees also gain insight into CBCT-based diagnostics, surgical guide design, and the integration of digital planning tools into analog workflows. Whether managing compromised bone, handling esthetic zone challenges, or correcting past surgical failures, the All-on-XYZ course equips clinicians to take on more complex cases with confidence.

A Cohesive Learning Journey in Implant Dentistry

Both courses are delivered in person at the Pikos Institute’s training center in Trinity, Florida, offering clinicians the unique opportunity to learn in a collaborative, mentor-guided environment. The curriculum across both levels reflects over 40 years of surgical experience and teaching, refined into a format that is accessible, structured, and surgically relevant.

Doctors who begin with the Boot Camp can seamlessly transition into the All-on-XYZ course as their experience grows, making this a clear and cohesive learning journey for those looking to specialize or expand into full arch implant procedures.

Whether you're new to implant dentistry or looking to elevate your surgical approach, these two full arch programs provide the skills, systems, and mentorship needed to build a successful and sustainable full arch practice.

Course Details & Registration

Both courses are open for registration with limited seats available. Early registration is encouraged.
