Setup – Lingualized full dentures according to the Gerber concept

Course description

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