Day 1: Dentures 101 and Overdentures
 
Due to the increasing demand for dentures, overdenture therapy, and implant-based full-mouth rehabilitation, the need for a complete understanding of basic denture principles has never been more relevant. The goal of this module is to minimize errors and maximize predictability in removable treatment options.


Topics to be covered:

• Denture principles including making accurate final impressions and interocclusal records.
• Prosthetically designing cases with function and esthetics in mind.
• Functional occlusion and treatment planning.
• Lower denture stabilization principles.
• The transition from analog dentures intodigital dentures.
• Fundamentals of photogrammetry.

You will learn:

• Key requirements for a successful denture case.
• Principles of denture treatment plans.
• Importance of lower denture stabilization.
• The importance of lower denture stabilization
• Priniciples of implant-retained overdentures.
• Digital denture workflows.

8:00am-5:00pm Lecture (1 hour lunch included)

Jon Ruel, DMD
Dr. Ruel has an active practice in Portsmouth, RIwhere he specializes in advanced reconstructive dentistry (prosthetics). When Dr. Ruel is not treating patients he is typically lecturing on Restorative Implant Dentistry across the country. Dr. Ruel received his B.S. in biology from Boston College in 1970 and his D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974. He earned his Certificate in Prosthetics and Master of Dental Science from Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry in 1976.

 
 
 
Day 2: Implants and Hands-on
 
Applying what you have learned about the importance of denture and overdenture treatment planning, you will now focus on lower denture stabilization using conventional and small diameter implants.
 
Topics:
• Lower denture stabilization using conventional and small diameter implants.
• Basic Implant biology and fundamentals.
• Indications, contraindication.
• Proper patient selection, and treatment planning.
• Placing small diameter and standard implants (hands-on).
• Chairside pickups (hands-on).
 
Learning Objectives:
• Review basic implant biology
• Understand indications, contraindications, and patient selection for implant placement.
• Understand overdentures and the value of mandibular stabilization.
• Understand how to choose between conventional and small diamter implants
• Learn how to place conventional implants.
• Learn how to place mandibular small diameter implants.
• Learn how to convert an existing mandibular denture.
