Synopsis: 

With a systematic concept which involves patient, dentist and dental technician, we can achieve predictable results and satisfied patients. Material and devices, which allow an economic and stress-free workflow, form the base for such a concept. Tutor Paul McNally will demonstrate how the Bio functional Prosthetic System (BPS®) offers a practical combination of a systematic workflow and high quality materials for the fabrication of functional and aesthetic dentures.

Aims:

Providing edentulous patients with new functional and good fitting dentures is one of the biggest challenges for dentists and dental technicians. Studies about the demographic development show an increasing average life expectancy and a postponement of edentulism to a later life period. Additionally our patients today have higher demands for aesthetic and function for their dentures. These factors lead to even more challenges in future in the field of prosthetic rehabilitation. Unfortunately dentists and dental technicians often forget that suitable occlusal concepts, as well as static considerations, are fundamental also for long lasting implant-borne and partial dentures dentures.
