Ian's Case Presentation - 64

Welcome to Newsletter 64. I'll walk you through the process of providing a Mk 2 metal-based partial denture (RPD), for Ian a retired Veterinary Surgeon aged 78. The RPD was made at an increased vertical dimension and acted as an occlusal stabilisation splint - reducing the wear and bite force on the remaining natural teeth.

Ian was referred to me by his general dentist.

Courses given by Finlay at his practice

I conduct removable prosthodontic courses, featuring lectures and live clinical demonstrations at the practice. These courses target general dentists, prosthodontists, clinical dental technicians, and dental technicians. With a focus on clinical application, these demonstrations showcase optimal function and superb aesthetics, providing immediate professional improvement and enhanced patient outcomes.

Speaking Engagements

I speak at dental and prosthodontic conferences globally, aiming to kindle enthusiasm for removable prosthodontics. My lectures emphasize the viability of well-designed removable dentures as an alternative to implant-supported restorations. For conference inquiries, contact me at education@finlaysutton.co.uk.

While my speaking fees reflect the quality and dedication to removable prosthodontics, I offer a wealth of free resources on my website (finlaysutton.co.uk) and Facebook page. My transparent presentations, documented with patient cases, empower delegates to apply practical advice immediately.

A gorgeous day preparing to teach in North Carolina

A gorgeous day here in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, preparing for tomorrow's Forsyth Dental Study Club! Sitting in the sunshine in the beautiful grounds of Graylyn Estate, putting the finishing touches to my lecture, with time for the gym, a doughnut and coffee at Dough-Joe's, and a lovely walk around Reynolda Estate.

Feeling incredibly fortunate to be here, doing something I absolutely love. I can't wait to share my passion for removable prosthodontics tomorrow and hopefully light a few fires along the way!

Gordon’s Complete Denture Journey: Lessons from 60 Years Without Teeth

Gordon had been edentulous for 60 years. He wore only an upper denture and never a lower. Functionally, he could chew perfectly well without one. But socially, he felt embarrassed. He wanted to look right again and to enjoy meals with his family without worry. This case shows why patient expectations, honest conversations, and perseverance are every bit as important as technical skill when providing complete dentures.
