Full-Arch Digital Restorative Workflow: Mastering the MUA Wash Impression Technique
Predicatable Full-Arch Outcomes with MUA-Based Hybrid Digital Workflows
Course Overview
This two-day course is designed for dentists and prosthodontists who want to elevate their full-arch implant workflows by integrating a predictable, MUA-based digital approach. Dr. Jedediah Wooldridge will guide participants through the complete restorative process—from terminal dentition diagnosis and preoperative planning to executing the MUA wash impression technique and delivering printed provisional restorations.
Day One focuses on case selection, the six essential elements of full-arch digital workflows, and the specific nuances of using the MUA wash impression technique in single- and dual-arch scenarios. Day Two moves into a step-by-step, hands-on application where participants will use printed MUA guides, capture wash impressions, digitize and convert the data, print the conversion, and finish and characterize the provisional restorations. The goal is to leave with a clear, repeatable protocol that reduces chairtime, improves collaboration with the lab, and supports more predictable restorative outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify and treatment plan common terminal dentition scenarios appropriate for full-arch implant therapy.
- Describe the six essential elements of a predictable full-arch digital restorative workflow and how they apply to MUA-based cases.
- Differentiate between single-arch and dual-arch MUA wash impression workflows and select the appropriate approach.
- Acquire and organize the necessary preoperative records and effectively communicate smile design and restorative intent to the laboratory team.
- Perform the MUA wash impression technique using printed guides, digitize the data (including photogrammetry), and complete the steps from digital conversion to printing, finishing, and characterizing provisional restorations.

Meet Your Instructor: Dr. Jedediah Wooldridge
Dr. Jedediah Wooldridge is a prosthodontist in Dallas, Texas. He is a graduate of Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, a graduate of Columbia University’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry Fellowship, and a graduate of the Manhattan Veterans’ Prosthodontic Residency Program.
Following completion of his residency, Dr. Wooldridge spent three years working overseas in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at the Takhassusi Hospital of Dr. Sulaiman al Habib Medical Group. Here, Dr. Wooldridge practiced the full spectrum of prosthodontic care in one of the kingdom’s most advanced healthcare settings.
In February of 2016, upon returning home, Dr. Wooldridge began work as an associate prosthodontist at ClearChoice Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. Over the next three-plus years, Dr. Wooldridge continued to hone his skills in full arch prosthodontic treatment, and in August of 2019, he was offered the lead position at ClearChoice in Arlington, TX. He maintained the lead role in Arlington until Aug of 2022, when he decided to branch out and diversify his skills in full arch dentistry.
Dr. Wooldridge’s efforts are focused on applying various technologies in digital dentistry to full-arch implant treatment. As of May 2023, Dr. Wooldridge became a Clinical Consultant for Integrity Dental Services. In this role, as it has transformed, he draws on his years of experience to optimize and implement cutting-edge digital workflows that simplify and improve the quality of care delivered by doctors and dental laboratories.
