Lectures and live demonstration on a patient by Finlay Sutton
I run the Implant Over-Denture Masterclass on Friday 22nd November 2024. You may wish to come for two days and do my Partial Denture Masterclass the day before on Thursday 21st May 2024.
I share with you the techniques and methods Rowan Garstang (my dental technician) and I use to achieve predictable results with implant supported complete dentures and partial dentures. This is a distillation of 22 years experience working together providing these restorations. We have made many mistakes and learned many lessons with these types of restorations and I want to share our solutions with you. I present the steps involved in planning, implant positioning (not including the surgical placement of implants), attachments we use, impression making, occlusal registration, tooth positioning for optimum aesthetics and internal strengthening of the prostheses. I also discuss my approach to consent and the importance of managing our patients’ expectations with these types of restoration.
This day is aimed at dentists, specialist prosthodontists, clinical dental technicians and dental technicians
consisting of a live
patient demonstration
and lectures abundantly
illustrated with step by
step photographs and
videos of all procedures.
Aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes:
- How to use attachments such as Locators® in the best way
- Making the dentures fit the implants and the supporting soft tissues properly
- Planning the optimum position of implants
- Optimising the aesthetics of dentures
- Making accurate impressions for Locators® and bar supported over dentures
- The use of metal reinforcement to strengthen the dentures
- Have happier patients with improved outcomes
Better communication between dentist, CDT and dental technician
