Presenter
Course Objectives
1 CE Credit
Modern dentistry affords the clinician a range of options for successful treatment of the fully edentulous patient. In this multimedia presentation, Dr. Paresh Patel demonstrates how, by carefully considering the oral health and devise a treatment plan that effectively restores form and function.
Topics include:
Summary
Practitioners have several options for treating the edentulous arch, providing a great deal of flexibility in addressing the unique needs of each case. By comprehensively assessing the patient’s chief complaint, bone volume and anatomical landmarks, as well as the fit, stability and comfort of any existing oral appliances, clinicians can confidently determine whether a traditional complete denture or an implant-supported prosthesis is indicated.
