In this capstone session, Dr Gonzalo Blasi takes the stage to present a challenging full-mouth comprehensive case, guiding participants through the diagnostic findings, biologic considerations, and restorative constraints that define advanced interdisciplinary care. The case is intentionally complex, requiring thoughtful sequencing, risk assessment, and collaboration across specialties.

Building on the principles explored in earlier case discussions, the three remaining teams engage in a live treatment-planning challenge, each developing and defending a comprehensive approach to full-mouth rehabilitation. As the teams deliberate, table discussions and audience participation are actively woven into the session, allowing attendees to explore alternative strategies, question assumptions, and synthesize learning in real time.

This dynamic format brings together multiple perspectives from prosthodontic, surgical, restorative, to biologic, highlighting how different planning philosophies can arrive at high-level care through thoughtful collaboration. While one team will ultimately advance as the winner of the challenge, the emphasis remains on shared learning, clinical reasoning, and respect for diverse approaches. The session reinforces that in comprehensive dentistry, excellence is not singular, but collective.

Upon completion of this workshop, attendees should be able to:

• Evaluate comprehensive treatment planning strategies for a complex full-mouth rehabilitation case using interdisciplinary clinical reasoning

• Integrate biologic, functional, and restorative considerations into sequenced treatment plans through collaborative discussion and comparative analysis.

Dr Gonzalo Blasi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and holds a PhD from the  International University of Catalonia (UIC). He is a graduate of the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), School of Dentistry, where he earned a Certificate in Periodontics and a Master of Science in Oral Biology. He also completed a Postgraduate Fellowship in Implant Periodontal Prosthodontics in the same institution. 

Dr Blasi received his dental degree from UIC in Barcelona and was honored with the Richard J. Lazzara Fellowship Award from the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation in 2016.With numerous publications and book chapters to his name, he lectures nationally and internationally in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry.

Currently, Dr Blasi is the Co-Director of the Periodontics Program at UIC and serves as faculty in the Department of Periodontics at both UIC and UMB. He also maintains a private practice in Barcelona, Spain, focused exclusively on periodontics and implant dentistry.
