Anything But The Denture
Presented by M. Nader Sharifi, D.D.S., M.S.
A landmark demographic study showed that while edentulism is decreasing as a percentage of the total population, the population of edentulous patients is actually increasing because of the aging baby boom. Today, patients are holding onto failed teeth longer in hopes of avoiding the use of a denture that they saw their parents struggle with in the past. This course will offer dentists the opportunity to provide the treatment these patients desire – anything but the denture.
Immediate load of dental implants provides a new solution for these patients to be treated without the use of a denture. In one day, a patient with a compromised dentition can be edentulated, receive implants and a fixed bridge – eliminating the need for a denture. Implant centers have opened around the country offering this treatment and developing six week waiting lists of patients desiring this solution.
Click to Download PDFIn this course we’ll complete a hands-on clinic to convert a denture to a fixed bridge on a dental cast – creating a patient education model participants will take home and use in their offices. We’ll review all the clinical and laboratory steps required to convert the denture. In addition, we will simplify the challenging steps associated with creating the immediate denture necessary for this treatment protocol. Identifying the appropriate incisal edge position, finding centric relation and determination of the proper occlusal plane are all challenges when our patient has a compromised dentition. This course will provide solutions for these issues.
Converting the denture isn’t the only necessary step in this protocol. Once the implants have osseointegrated a definitive prosthesis will need to be fabricated. That prosthesis can be fabricated in as few as four appointments – or as many as eight. Participants will learn how to determine whether the streamlined or extended protocol should be selected. We’ll complete a hands-on section to demonstrate the two most critical steps in fabrication of a successful definitive prosthesis.
This course is entirely based upon techniques and materials that can and should be implemented into everyday clinical practice. Participants leave with increased confidence and a clear understanding of clinical treatment ideals, including:
In the end, learn to treat patients in your practice that need to be edentulated but want to avoid ever wearing a denture using this conversion prosthesis. This two day, hands-on course is geared toward general practitioners, prosthodontists, implant surgeons and lab technicians.

- Understanding the immediate denture records appointment
- Material preparation for the conversion appointment
- Hands-on completion of a conversion of a complete denture to a fixed bridge
- Evaluation of the provisional for the streamlined vs. extended protocol
- Hands-on fabrication of an implant verification jig
- Review of techniques and a hands-on impression of a full arch implant cast
- Introducing the All-On-Four concept of fixed bridges
