Do you know how to prepare for them correctly? Do you know what to do to really make them failsafe and stay on? Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs) can de designed to be aesthetically pleasing… can’t they? This seminar and practical element will give participants a reminder of CrCo partial denture design giving considering to both aesthetics, future tooth loss planning and hygiene design of the denture. Alternatives to conventional RPDs will also be discussed. Have you considered “Snap-on-smiles”? They are, after all removable prostheses!

Description: These 2 days will provide participants with an invaluable update for general dental practice work. Each day can be attached as a single event but attendees will gain more if they can attend both days. Complete dentures can be aesthetic too you know…..! Full dentures are rarely thought of as prostheses that patients will be satisfied with and that clinicians enjoy providing. There are a few easy methods to incorporate into clinical practice that can make them easier to provide as well as make them more useful to our patients. For longer span areas then Big Bridges need to be considered. The provision of these restorations for patients with larger edentulous area that need filling, and when an RPD is not appropriate, need the proper planning to satisfy aesthetic, functional and occlusion aspects. Preparation design, material selection, provisionalisition and impression taking are key elements that need to be carried out optimally chairside
