Removable Prosthodontics with Exocad: Bar, Screw-Retained, and Telescopic Designs
Removable Prosthetics Using Exocad: Bar, Screw‑Retained and Telescopic Constructions
Course overview
In Pavel Kravets’s course you will learn the laboratory stages of fabricating removable prostheses using Exocad software.
You will receive fabrication protocols for implant‑supported prostheses with the following types of retention:
bar
screw‑retained
telescopic.
After completing the course:
Dental technicians will learn to fabricate removable prostheses with various types of implant retention
Prosthodontists will be able to save time and money by detecting or preventing dental technician errors in time.
