A clear protocol to fabricate functional and aesthetic dentures
Learn a step-by-step protocol for fabricating dentures that fit well and enhance the smile using an evidence-based approach.
Providing edentulous patients with adequate dentures is one of the most challenging disciplines in dentistry. Studies on demographic trends show an increasing average life expectancy and a postponement of edentulism to later stages of life. Additionally, there is a rise in patients' expectations regarding aesthetics and functionality. These factors will make prosthetic treatment even more challenging in the future.
With a systematic approach involving the patient, dentist, and dental technician, we can achieve predictable results. Materials and tools that enable an efficient and stress-free workflow form the foundation of such a concept, allowing us to create functional and aesthetically pleasing dentures.
In this webinar, you will learn about the following subjects:
- Anatomical overextended impressions
- Determining and registering a preliminary vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and centric position
- Functional impressions and intraoral Gothic arch (pin-point) tracing
- Technical preparation of individual trays
- Setting up a denture according to a model analysis
- Finishing dentures using a state-of-the-art manufacturing system
