Coordinating the Implant Overdenture Team

An overdenture procedure must be very clear for the surgeon, the restorative clinician, and the lab technician team. The anatomic issues that must be addressed in treatment planning of mandibular implant overdenture therapy, the location and the number of implants to be placed. The retention system should be very well discussed between those teams, as well as the patient, to promote a satisfactory result for everyone.

  • Learn the importance of discussing the plan before the surgery procedure.
  • Discuss the impact of implant placement when selecting implants, healing duration, and restoration durability.
  • Discuss the scientific evidence for the applications of digital technology.

Direct composite restorations remain one of the most versatile and cost-effective treatment options in dentistry. Whether restoring posterior function or creating anterior smile enhancements, mastering these techniques opens new opportunities to serve your patients while building your practice.

This two-day intensive covers everything from basic Class I restorations through advanced direct veneer techniques, giving you confidence to handle any direct restorative challenge.
