Introduction to Complete Dentures A-Z
Ivoclar Vivadent Inc. · June 19th - 21st · Seminars/Clinics
A three day course designed to instruct basic complete denture prosthetic principles for the dental professional...See more that will increase personal knowledge, proficiency and productivity. This course emphasizes primarily three areas of complete denture fabrication. Methods of communication between clinician and technician Communication is imperative that the clinician provide "patient records" that can be utilized by the dental laboratory to guide them in the accurate selection and placement of the denture teeth. These are relatively simple clinical records to make but they can be extraordinarily helpful to the technician during the process of setting denture teeth. Denture tooth set-up techniques for anterior and posterior teeth The previously mentioned "patient records" are programmed to special components of the Stratos Articulator. These components combined with the user friendly Stratos Articulator greatly facilitates the consistency, predictability and efficiency for setting denture teeth. Denture occlusion Schemes Understanding the concepts of the various occlusal schemes (anatomic, semi-anatomic, lingualized and monoplane). Participants will set-up several occlusal schemes including semi-anatomic and lingualized. Ivobase Denture Base System Information will be provided on the concept of injection molding and how it minimizes polymerization shrinkage and produces a superior product. Participants will experience a detailed step by step hands-on educational experience that will include productive investing procedures, complete wax elimination, effective separator application, tips on injection and careful methods of deflasking. Attention to the details of processing can provide a processed denture that requires minimal finishing and polishing efforts. The processed dentures are remounted and occlusally adjusted prior to separation from the cast and then trimmed and polished. Learning Objectives: • Smile Design tools of communication including Papillameter, Denture Gauge, Centric Tray, Biteplane and FormSelector • Esthetic Control Base fabrication • Mounting casts using the flat mounting table Stratos accessory • Stratos Articulation System and its components • Phonares and BlueLine Denture Systems • Anterior denture tooth set-up using the flat mounting table as a guide • Posterior denture tooth set-up using the 2.5D Template as a guide • Concepts of denture occlusion including anatomic, semi-anatomic, lingualized and monoplane • Gingival waxing for try-in • Concept of injection denture base processing • Investing, boil-out and separator application • Injection and processing • Concepts of remount & occlusal adjustment after processing • Finishing and Polishing • Trouble shooting denture processing

Master Complete Dentures with Robert Kreyer with Focus on Denture Based Esthetics
Ivoclar Vivadent Inc. · October 17th - 18th · Seminars/Clinics
This course is for the professional who desires to take removable prosthetic technology to the highest level. ...See more It will guide the participants through thoughts and techniques to achieve truly esthetic and functional complete prosthetics. This is an intensive two-day hands-on course targeted at the experienced technician with a base knowledge in gingival contours, smile design, anterior esthetics and functional occlusion. Each participant will gain technical knowledge with a better understanding of removable prosthodontic variables and how to create complete denture prosthetics that consistently exceed expectations and desires. Course Features: •Essential communication (Lecture) •Individual PHONARES denture tooth colorization & contouring using the Denture Tooth Characterization kit •Esthetic anterior tooth arrangements with PHONARES (Hands-on) •Advanced gingival wax contouring using the "additive" approach (Hands-on) •Gingival base characterization using intrinsic and extrinsic techniques (Hands-on) •Finishing and Polishing Techniques (Hands-on)
