There are various techniques for the restoration of full arches with dental implants, including both screw-less and screw-retained prosthetics. This course provides an overview of overdenture treatment options for surgical and restorative dentists. Explore the flexible, removable option of implant-supported denture restorations with LOCATOR attachments. Compare the differences between this removable option to the new, screw-retained LOCATOR FIXED system and learn the conversion process. Participants will understand diagnosis and treatment planning for both implant overdenture options and successful overdenture fabrication and delivery techniques, including an introduction to digital dentures. This course will review the new Simply IconicTM, practice of an immediate denture conversion, and a simplified technique for full arch impressions.
