Master Course B: Design and Fabrication of Attached Bar Overdentures, Digital Planning and All-On-4™ Conversions with Tom Wade, CDT

This course examines the less prescribed but more complex arena of attached over-denture bar restorations, including design considerations for the Nobel Procera Paris Bar, utilizing popular Locator and Bredent VKS-SG attachments.

Specialized processing techniques unique to attached over-dentures are examined in depth, including the design and incorporation of cast chrome meso-structures, which are necessary components for long-term success. The class participates in an actual processing of an attached over-denture bar case utilizing Phonares II Nano-hybrid composite resin denture teeth and the Ivobase injection processing system.

Additionally, this course examines the use of NobelClinician digital planning Software and the new Integrated Workflow, featuring the 2G Scanner and “Smart Fusion” technology.

Topics covered include:

• Communications between the surgical and restorative teams to better plan and execute to achieve an optimal restorative outcome
• Digital planning of strategic implant placement and bone modifications necessary to adequately meet restorative requirements
• Various surgical guides and apparatus fabricated by Laboratories to assist with implant placement
• Working with either challenging or obsolete implant systems in which proper prosthetic fabrication components are unavailable
