Introduction

Experience the difference for yourself - a unique range of tooth moulds designed to match the age, gender and individual characteristics of the patient. 

Until now it has not been possible to achieve the many variations of the natural tooth using traditional denture teeth. Manufacturing techniques could not reproduce the many small details within the tooth and on its surface that were needed to provide a natural appearance. Also, the arrangement of denture teeth and lack of choice across gender and various age groups was limiting to patients and did not provide them with the desired aesthetic effect. Furthermore the surface character, tooth proportions, and contact areas of existing denture teeth would not allow for a truly realistic natural looking smile

This course introduces the next generation SR Phonares denture teeth and by their use for full arch prosthetics shows how these aesthetic limits can be a thing of the past.

Overview

This new course demonstrates how scientific principles, artistic abilities and geometric laws can provide the guidelines for the look of full dentures. We will discuss the delicate combination of technical parameters that help produce attractive aesthetic results particularly when using the new  SR Phonares denture teeth for full arch prosthetics. 

The shape, position and arrangement of SR Phonares denture teeth will be discussed in detail with a specific focus on individual denture tooth dimensions and dominance. With this, you will develop your understanding of the relation of each anterior tooth to one another and the possible variations.  

You will also learn techniques to anatomically contour the gum portion in full arch prosthetics to create an appearance that the SR Phonares denture teeth literally grew into place. 

This course will discuss how the individual elements of a natural looking smile, including the teeth, gums, lips and the face that frames it, interact together to present a pleasing smile. Participants will learn how to take advantage of all of the unique elements of the SR Phonares teeth and how in combination with the BPS denture System a visual balance for each patirent can be achieved. 

Quickly, you will understand that your own personal touch and your creativity makes each case unique, and why this is particularly important in the restoration the front six upper teeth.

Aims and Objectives 

  • Understand the technical aspects of the SR Phonares Denture teeth
  • Learn about the Nano Hybrid Composite material of SR Phonares.
  • Learn to model and understand the Zenith points of the gums, gingival levels and gum harmony in full arch prosthetics
  • Understand the Sex, Personality and Age (SPA) in full arch prosthetics and learn how to apply these theories using SR Phonares - it has long been suggested that the upper anterior aesthetic shape and form reflects the persons gender, age and personality.
  • Learn more about denture tooth selection - chairside, lab side and the theories of dentogenics (sex, personality and age factor).
  • Learn more about the shape, position and arrangement of denture teeth - set denture teeth according to the anatomy of the edentulous mouth.
  • Understand tooth dominance (individual and grouped).
  • Understand SR Phonares denture tooth dimensions (individual and grouped).
  • Understand tooth graduation in the BPS system - the principles of graduation of size and bilateral progression in size and shape of the denture teeth from the central incisor to the most visible posterior tooth.
  • Understand denture tooth axis - the progression of distal inclination of the anterior teeth.
  • Understand the relation of each SR Phonares anterior tooth to one another (Interdental Contact Areas) the broad zone in which two adjacent teeth in the anterior contact.
  • Understand incisal embrasures - aged, universal and mature, and the importance of incisal embrasure in different full arch prosthetics.
  • Learn the model analysis for full arch prosthetics - the stable reference points important for the restoration of the full arch using complete dentures
  • Understand the use of ideal reference points for full arch prosthetics - median plane, horizontal plane, campers plane, bonwill triangle and balkwill angle
  • Understand the use of the Biofunctional Prosthetics System for full arch prosthetics
