On October 23 - 27, I will be out of the office and heading over to the Pacific Implant Institute in Vancouver, BC to take an Implant Prosthodontics course. The course will be about Implant Retained Removeable Dentures, both either with cementable restorations or, with Overdentures and will be presented by Dr. Ron Zokol. "Due to implant rigidity in bone, laboratory tolerances are finer and requirement for acuracy and strong laboratory communication is essential to providing high quality services." - Dr. R. Zokol.
This program will provide solution for all prosthetic services involving implant retained dentures and will have a strong component for comprehensive diagnosis and case selection to ensure the case we are treating is suited to our skills.
For years now, I've always been intrigued by these implant retained denture restorations and have been very interested in how I might be able to create these in the laboratory. I'm fascinated as how beautiful they turn out, but hold reservations knowing these are not easy to do. Excuses aside, I will be stepping up to the plate to learn this boutique side of dentistry that is slowly becoming standard care.
I would like to whole-heartedly and personally, thank Dr. Kari Chellis for helping to make this course possible for me to get into. Thank you so much Kari.
- Tony L.
