Setup – Full Dentures in Physiological Occlusion

Course description

The basics of the functionality of full dentures and the principle of the physiological tooth-to-two-tooth relationship in static and dynamic occlusion will be elaborated. The anterior and posterior teeth will be set up based on the self-performed model analysis. You will also learn and apply the design principles of papilla, tooth neck and artificial alveolar modeling as well as the muscular-gripping, myodynamic denture body design in wax.
