The Complete Story: Complete Dentures From Start to Finish

Sponsors


CE Credits: 3 Hour Lecture | Subject: Digital Dentures | Recommended for: All Attendees
For many decades, very little changed with complete denture workflows. Over the last ten years, we have started to see technology transform the status quo. As workflows evolve to incorporate digital dentistry, clinicians can benefit from interweaving components of both conventional and digital denture workflows. This course will review all aspects of both digital and conventional methods of denture making, from impressions to post-insertion. By the end of the session, attendees should have a strong understanding of the foundational clinical concepts of complete dentures – both digital and conventional – and be able to customize denture workflows with confidence.
Learning Objectives:
- Walk through complete denture workflows, digital and conventional, from start to finish.
- Describe and know the indications for various denture tooth and base materials (printed, milled, processed).
- Effectively communicate and partner with dental laboratory technicians to achieve more predictable results.
- Execute workflows in practice to fabricate immediate, conventional complete, and copy dentures.
