OVERVIEW
This presentation will cover the most important aspects of complete removable dentures reloaded to include implant retained over-dentures and why unsuccessful cases are generally a result of an inadequate assessment thereby leading to a weak treatment plan. Helpful tips to eliminate this situation will be detailed. An assessment checklist designed to investigate and review those areas generally attributed to unsuccessful results will be highlighted. Making the most desirable impressions both internal and external will bring the audience up to current methods. The number two problem plaguing removable prosthetics is an inaccurate repeatable bite. A precise bite registration will be described in detail, followed by post insertion equilibration accomplished simply and accurately in minutes utilizing the intro-oral establisher.

Why some relines work and others may require so many adjustments that making a new denture is easier. See how the delivery appointment will eliminate postoperative problematic situations by utilizing the titration technique. To sum it all up come ready to learn and have fun.
