Partial dentures, have happy patients using the Scandinavian Hygienic approach
Scientific Programme (On Demand)
Session Description
Partial dentures, have happy patients using the Scandinavian Hygienic approach
I will present the Scandinavian Hygienic technique used to make partial dentures function like “removable bridges”. This system allows for future tooth additions onto cobalt chromium minor connectors in the event of support teeth failure. This is based on splinting mobile teeth protecting the periodontium from occlusal forces, reducing iatrogenic effects of the RPD. I will show the steps to achieve predictable results including cases having had failed dental implants.

Learning Objectives
- To learn the construction method of partial dentures which work like removable bridges, protecting the periodontium of compromised abutment teeth.
- To appreciate that well designed and well-made removable dentures are a valid alternative to implant supported restorations
- To learn a system of partial denture design which anticipates future abutment failure allowing artificial tooth additions onto cobalt chromium minor connectors of the denture later.
