CPD event – Kevin Lochead: Partial Dentures & Adhesive Bridges

Restorative Dental treatment concepts have developed to be minimally invasive. Beautiful ceramics, artistic  composite bonding, whitening and orthodontics, with dental implants becoming the accepted “ideal” in tooth replacement.

But what of the humble partial denture? Not all our patients can afford, or are suitable for advanced restorative care. How can we improve the provision of partial denture solutions? What advances have there been? Do special attachments still have a place?

What about adhesive bridges, how can we make them more predictable posteriorly, without being challenged by debonds and poor aesthetics?
