Breaking Dentures Webinar Signup

What does it take to stop fixed dentures from breaking?

In this 1-hour, live webinar, Dr. Brandon Kofford is joined by three doctors presenting their graduate research on the fracture resistance of full-arch prosthetics. Together, they’ll share data-backed insights on how different conversion techniques, denture materials, and pickup materials affect prosthetic strength—and what that means for your real-world outcomes.

Techniques Compared:
• Conventional
• Smart Denture Conversions
• Direct to Abutment
• Guided

Materials Tested:
• Injection-Molded PMMA
• Milled PMMA
• 3D-Printed Resins
• Trilor Reinforcement

Pickup Materials Evaluated:
• PMMA
• Bis-Acryl
• Bis-GMA

Whether you’re new to fixed conversions or refining your workflow, this is the research you didn’t know you needed.

Attendees who stay for the full hour will receive 1 hour of CE, provided by our partners at Practical Prosthodontics Education.
