This course is designed to help dentist who want to improve the quality, predictability, efficiency, and esthetics of their digital complete denture treatment. The primary goal is not simply to teach dentists how to order a digital denture. It is to teach them how to diagnose, design, evaluate, and deliver an excellent denture using sound prosthodontic principles, with digital technology making the process more efficient and reproducible.
Dentists should leave the course with a systematic workflow they can begin applying immediately to improve clinical outcomes and provide their patients with dentures that fit, function, and look natural.
Participants will learn:
- The foundational principles required to fabricate stable, retentive, comfortable dentures
- Diagnosis and treatment planning for completely edentulous patients
- Denture anatomy, support, retention, border extension, and impression techniques
- How to establish vertical dimension, centric relation, lip support, and the occlusal plane
- Digital denture workflows, including scanning, records, try-ins, and fabrication
- Immediate denture and conventional complete denture workflows
- Denture esthetics and facial analysis
- Anterior and posterior tooth selection and placement
- Smile design, midline, smile arc, tooth proportions, gingival display, and buccal corridors
- Phonetic evaluation and its use in determining tooth position
- Occlusion, tooth arrangement, and methods for creating a natural rather than artificial appearance
- Patient communication, expectation management, and case acceptance
- Troubleshooting common problems involving fit, function, comfort, and appearance
