“Digital” Complete Removable Protheses - Part 1
In part 1 of this two-session series, Dr. El Gendy will cover the following involving digital dentistry and removable prothesis.
The conventional way of fabricating complete removable prosthesis has not changed in the past 50 years. The process involves multiple clinical appointments. Each appointment requires considerable amount of time and material used both clinically and in the laboratory. This means the whole process is subject to human processing errors, inaccuracies, and further increased time and cost.
Digitally fabricated complete removable prosthesis will revolutionize the way dentists are treating completely edentulous patients. In the past few years, digitally designed and manufactured Complete Removable Prosthesis have improved significantly due to advancement in scanning, designing, and manufacturing. Part 2 will be held on October 15, 2024 via live webinar.
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify the diverse clinical workflows involved in this process
- Gain insight into the various components utilized in CAD/CAM technology for fabricating digital complete removable prostheses
- Learn about scanning technique
- Discuss the workflow of making a duplicate of a complete removable prosthesis
- Discuss the workflow of fabricating Immediate Digital Complete Removable Prosthesis
- Discuss the workflow of fabricating Digital Complete Removable Prosthesis
- Discuss different manufacturing techniques employed in this innovative approach
