Event Details

For several years, many patients have benefited from removable prostheses such as complete and partial dentures. Although the incidence of tooth loss has declined markedly in the last few decades, dental clinicians still encounter patients in need for missing teeth replacement. In today’s population, removable prostheses remain a valid treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Removable prostheses are unique as they replace multiple missing teeth and supporting tissues, improve patient chewing and speech, and restore patients’ appearance. However, the success of the removable prosthesis is largely dependent on its design and the standards of the clinical steps. This refresher course will simplify removable prosthodontics and will focus on the critical steps for providing a functional, comfortable and aesthetic denture. It aims to update your knowledge and understanding of removable prosthodontics. The presented contents will allow dental practitioners to optimise their skills, increase their scope of practice to include removable prosthodontics and comfortably manage patients with complete and partial edentulism. The 2 days course is clinically oriented and will cover the theory and practical steps of complete and partial removable prosthodontics. A group of prosthodontists experienced in removable prosthodontics will present lectures on critical aspects for successful removable prostheses followed by hands-on exercises.
