About the Course
Implant overdenture using locator abutments can improve the quality of life for many completely edentulous patients. However, delivering implant overdenture has its own set of challenges. There are tissue related and implant related factors to consider. The fundamentals of complete dentures still apply to this type of treatment. Common concepts such as determining vertical dimension of occlusion and learning how to find centric relation with confidence will be covered. In addition, a detailed delivery protocol designed by Dr. Leung will be shared to provide a smooth delivery outcome and minimize complications.
