One Denture Patient – Two solutions (A look into analog and digitalmethods of denture fabrication)

Dentistry is changing. CAD/CAM technologies are already prevalent in many officesand laboratories today. These technological advances in fixed prosthodontics havesimplified case planning and prosthetic fabrication. Even within the specialty of complete dentures, digital solutions are growing rapidly. However, is a digital solutionalways the right one? What is the comparison of analog denture methodology, timeframe, and final results to digital dentures? This course will provide the attendees with a look into a live comparison case study

done with both analog and digital methods. This case will contain anatomical anom-alies, which require specific techniques for custom tray fabrication, impression taking,and tooth setup. The course will contain photographic documentation along with videofootage of patient visits, clinical techniques, and laboratory techniques in both typesof complete denture fabrications. The information will not only be focused on the comparative study, but also the

methods used to create a quality removable prosthetic.

Oscar Galvis is a Certified Dental Technician in Complete Dentures,as well as a Master Dental Technician. He also has a Bachelorsin Health Science Allied Dental Concentration. Oscar has a his-tory of working with universities such as Rutgers School ofDental Medicine and CUNY’s New York City College of Tech-nology. He currently works as an adjunct lecturer at NYCCTteaching complete denture courses, at his family owned dentalpractice where he runs the Removable and CAD/CAM depart-

ments, and also owns his own business of dental instructionalvideos. His videos have been used in multiple courses at Rutgers School

With a strong passion foreducation, Oscar has even developed a course to aid technicians in preparing for thepractical exam in order to become a Certified Dental Technician in Complete Denturesat NYCCT.
