Dr. Junying Li holds the position of Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Biologic and Materials Sciences & Prosthodontics at the University of Michigan's School of Dentistry. He is an active member of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO), serving on both its Research Submission Committee and Clinical Innovations Committee. Dr. Li completed his Prosthodontics Residency in 2015 at the West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University. Between 2017 and 2018, he was a Dentsply Sirona Implant Fellow at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. In 2019, he earned his Ph.D. in Dental Medicine from the West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University. Subsequent to his graduation, he began his faculty life at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry as a Clinical Instructor. By 2021, Dr. Li transitioned to his current role in the Department of Biologic and Materials Sciences & Prosthodontics. Beyond his clinical practice and instructional responsibilities, Dr. Li passionately pursues research in the realm of digital dentistry. His interests are specifically geared towards computer-assisted implant surgery, virtual patients, and virtual articulators. A testament to his commitment to the field, Dr. Li has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed articles in leading dental implant and prosthodontics journals.

Full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis is one of the most advocated treatment options for patients with failing dentition. This treatment requires coordinating a thorough prosthetic and surgical plan. Esthetic, occlusal, and biological considerations must be integrated into the treatment plan. It is one of the most challenging dental procedures. Luckily, with the newest technology of face scans, virtual patients, virtual articulators, and computer-assisted implant surgery with the stackable guide, a full arch immediate implant placement, and loading case can be planned and executed seamlessly with predictable outcomes. This lecture will cover the key issues related to this full digital workflow.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Identify the equipment and software required for a virtual patient workflow.
• Understand the virtual patient workflow process.
• Recognize the components of a stackable guide.
• Demonstrate how to accurately register CR (Centric Relation) and VDO (Vertical Dimension of Occlusion) in a virtual patient
