COURSE OVERVIEW
Removable prosthetics remain an essential treatment option for many patients, even as endosseous implants have become widely recommended for tooth replacement. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical indications for removable prosthetics and examines both analog and emerging digital workflows.

Participants will analyze treatment planning strategies, evaluate patient communication approaches and compare materials and design principles for partial and complete dentures. Emphasis is placed on analog methodologies while introducing foundational concepts in digital removable prosthetics.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course, attendees should be able to:
■ Apply a step by step clinical workflow for evaluating, treatment planning and delivering removable prosthetics in diverse patient scenarios
■ Analyze the roles and contributions of a multidisciplinary team in achieving successful removable prosthetic outcomes
■ Implement evidence based communication strategies to enhance patient comprehension, expectation management and acceptance of removable treatment options
■ Evaluate removable partial denture (RPD) design principles to determine suitable approaches for various clinical presentations
■ Differentiate between commonly used materials and fabrication workflows for partial and complete dentures across both analog and introductory digital modalities
