Lectures and live demonstration on a patient by Finlay Sutton
I run the Immediate Denture Masterclass on Friday 17th May 2024. You may wish to come for two days and do my Partial Denture Masterclass the day before on Thursday 16th May 2024.
Immediate dentures are often the most difficult and least well tolerated dentures that we give our patients. I want to share with you the techniques and methods Rowan Garstang (my dental technician) and I use to achieve predictable results with immediate dentures. I will show how I make superb impressions – even with mobile teeth in the way. The process from diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment provision will be shown in detail. This will be full of tips, techniques and practical advice which can be implemented straight away into practice.
This day is aimed at dentists, clinical dental technicians and dental technicians with a live patient demonstration and lectures abundantly illustrated with step by step photographs and videos of all procedures.
Aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes:
- Making immediate complete and partial dentures as stable, comfortable and secure as possible
- Positioning teeth in the “right place” aesthetically being useful for clinicians involved in the provision of dental implants
- Correct preparation of the working casts
- Taking excellent impressions even with mobile teeth and bridges
- Planning cases carefully to achieve optimum aesthetics and function of immediate dentures
- Know the best time to reline or remake the dentures
- Have happier patients with improved outcomes
- Better communication between dentist, CDT and dental technician
Increased professional satisfaction when providing immediate complete dentures and partial dentures
