Partial Denture Design

 

Description

The combination of fixed prosthetics and removable partials is one of the most challenging aspects of comprehensive dentistry. During our 2 1/2 day course we will discuss how this prosthetic success can become very predictable for you and your patients. Using selected case studies you will learn a programmed approach to treatment planning, but more importantly a programmed approach to treatment sequencing that will ensure success with these cases.
