Course Description & Benefits
In this intensive 2-day workshop, participants will learn a step-by-step protocol to fabricate highly predictable complete dentures, with a special focus on mandibular suction using digital workflows. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
-
Understand key anatomical and clinical concepts for mandibular suction
-
Learn digital techniques for designing dentures without conventional impressions
-
Build and adjust a proper wax rim to enable closed-mouth final impressions
-
Observe live patient treatment from start to final delivery
-
Learn to apply a fully digital or hybrid protocol depending on the case
-
Gain the confidence to implement suction-based mandibular dentures in your daily practice
How will this improve your practice?
You’ll be able to streamline denture workflows, reduce remakes, offer a higher-quality treatment, and differentiate your practice through reliable, high-end prosthodontics—especially in cases where implants are not an option.
Return on Investment (ROI):
One well-done case can easily cover the full cost of the course. This training gives you lifelong skills that improve patient satisfaction, reduce chair time, and increase referrals.
