Overdentures are no longer just a solution for the edentulous patient, they represent a dynamic treatment option at the intersection of tradition and technology. This course explores the full spectrum of overdenture therapy, from conventional tissue-supported prostheses to implant-supported designs and contemporary digital workflows.


The course begins with an evidence-based review of the critical factors involved in case selection, diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical execution using both analog and digital protocols. Attendees will place overdenture abutments, retrofit a denture, and learn how to select and activate appropriate retention levels.


Whether you are revisiting removable prosthodontics or expanding your implant treatment offerings, this interactive five-hour lecture and hands-on course will provide the knowledge and skills needed to deliver predictable, high-quality patient outcomes with confidence.
