The 10th World Symposium on Denturism unfolds under the joint themes of health and innovation. Progress, dentistry news, patient health, and also that of denturists will be at the core of this meeting.

The Association des denturologistes du Québec

The Association des denturologistes du Québec works first and foremost for its members to protect their interests, provide them with working tools for their practice and promote denturism. This mission is reflected, in particular, by the organisation of congresses, such as the 10th World Symposium on Denturism, where denturists and suppliers are brought together.

    CEU 2
    Room : Îles Percées BC

    It is important for every denturist to find his/her individual way that makes it possible for him/her to treat the patient effective and for a reasonable price. According to the motto of my good friend Mike Vakallis: you can safe your time in doing proper denture work or you can waste your time in fixing it.

    The presentation is about edentulous patients having the illusion of be still dented, the presentation covers the treatment of patients through participants on a SDC course, from the preliminary impression to inserting the prosthesis. The focus at the preliminary impression lies on the outline of the extension for the functional tray. The functional impression and its meaning for the hold of the prosthesis, as well as the determination of vertical and centric relation at the registration procedure. Furthermore, the influence of the phonetics on the esthetics during a chairside setup of the anterior teeth.

    Professional service in denturism is reflected not only in the quality of the finished product but also in the record keeping. In order for the writing to give an accurate reflection, the content recorded in the patient’s file must comply with defined principles and rules. In addition to respecting the legal considerations of the profession, “no mistake” annotations are free from criticism and judgment, meet established standards and highlight certain ethical elements. This is what gives them the most credibility on all levels

    Are you ready to be more, do more, and become better? Go beyond what you learned in school and listen to an entirely new perspective on occlusion. Comprehend how dentures work and why by understanding the details of hydraulics in the mouth. A patient without difficulty or sores in the mouth is a patient referring people to you or your dentist.

    Count up your adjustments – are you doing them for free? Learn how attending to the details will cut adjustments in half – and what that will do from a business and patient satisfaction perspective.

    Course objectives will focus on understanding these details:

    • Understanding lingualized occlusion and the benefits for specific jaw relationships;
    • Cut adjustments in half more consistently;
    • Understand the mechanics of the mouth and how dentures work integrate in the mouth;
    • Impact on success when setting teeth in nonstandard occlusal relationship.
