Overdenture Bootcamp

The Overdenture Bootcamp is an intensive three-day, hands-on training designed to give clinicians comprehensive, real-world experience in the surgical and restorative phases of implant-retained overdentures. Day 1 builds a strong foundation through lecture, discussion, and simulation-based workshops covering diagnosis, patient selection, treatment planning, implant systems, surgical protocols, and chairside Locator pickup techniques. Day 2 transitions to immersive clinical learning as participants perform live overdenture surgeries under expert supervision, rotating between operator and assistant roles while refining incision design, implant sequencing, torque assessment, suturing, and complication management. Day 3 focuses on the restorative continuum, including uncovery surgery, soft tissue management, impression techniques, abutment selection and torqueing, denture conversion, delivery workflows, occlusion verification, and long-term maintenance strategies. Through didactic instruction, guided hands-on practice, live patient care, and case-based feedback, participants leave confident and capable of delivering predictable, prosthetically driven overdenture treatment in their own practices.

What You'll Learn

Course details coming soon!

  • Diagnose and treatment plan implant-retained overdentures by evaluating patient factors, bone anatomy, prosthetic requirements, and implant positioning principles.
  • Perform surgical procedures for mandibular and maxillary overdentures, including incision design, implant placement, parallelism, torque assessment, suturing, and uncovery techniques.
  • Demonstrate proficiency with Locator and other attachment systems, including component selection, abutment torqueing, prosthetic space evaluation, and chairside pickup workflows.
  • Execute restorative protocols from impression to delivery, including open- and closed-tray impressions, denture conversion, attachment pickup, occlusal verification, and patient comfort assessment.
  • Recognize and manage intraoperative and prosthetic complications, applying troubleshooting strategies, radiographic evaluation, and long-term maintenance protocols for successful overdenture outcomes.
