This course focuses on principles for predictable immediate load provisionalization for full arch fixed implant restorations. Participants will have hands-on opportunities to learn how to use the separable fastener to facilitate fabrication of the provisional as well as how to modify existing interim prostheses. Participants will learn the significance of mulit-unit abutment selection on the provisional's intaglio design and how to achieve convex contours.
This course will provide:
- Review of principles in fixed complete dentures (e.g., implant positioning, abutment selection, immediate load provisional, definitive restoration)
- Hands-on practice to establish hygienic contours in the immediate load prosthesis.
- Hands-on training for using separable fasteners in the denture conversion procedure
- Hands-on training for use of separable fasteners for prosthesis repairs or implant revisions.
