9 lessons (15h 30min)

Overview:
The OHI-S Removable Dentures Online Course is an intensive 15.5-hour, 9-lesson program focused on advanced clinical and laboratory protocols for removable prosthodontics. The course covers comprehensive workflows for designing, fabricating, and delivering highly functional and aesthetic removable dentures for edentulous and partially edentulous patients.
Learning Objectives:

Master the foundational and advanced clinical steps required for fabricating complete and partial removable dentures.

Apply precise impression-taking techniques and bite registration methods for challenging anatomical presentations.

Evaluate and establish optimal occlusion, vertical dimension, and articulation to improve patient comfort, aesthetics, and masticatory function.

Implement effective strategies to troubleshoot common prosthetic complications, ensuring proper fit and long-term clinical success.

Target Audience:
Best for general dentists and prosthodontists who want comprehensive updates on clinical protocols and removable denture fabrication techniques.

Lesson 7.Key practical points for successful prosthetics with сomplete denture (analog method)

– What to look for when examining a patient for the correct choice of tactics and method;
– What influences the choice of anatomical impression material?
– Clinically relevant parameters of a trays. Compression or decompression of the mucosa?
– The master model is one of the parameters of success! What does a successful working model look like?
– What are the sin of occlusal rims? Are we fixing mistakes? Or are we abandoning them?

Lesson 8.Basic steps for making complete dentures

– Impression with an individual trays. Detailed analysis of techniques:
– Determination of the CR. Intraoral recording of gothic arch:
– From manufacturing in an articulator to fixing the CR in the mouth:
– Tasks of functional impression:
– The choice of technique and masses in various clinical situations;
– Ways of compression and decompression of the oral mucosa, in which clinical situations;
– Should the edge of the functional impression be three-dimensional?
– Thickness of the mass in the finished impression and the individual punching zone tray:
– CR, position of central occlusion and multiple contact? Will there be an equal sign between them?
– «Occlusal» rims are more «Aesthetic» today!
– Gothic arch recording method as a simple and accurate mandible position determination method:
– Rules for making in the articulator (For example CRS 10, Candulor or CentroFix, AG):
