Adarve Prosthodontics Learning Center Announces Continuing Education Seminar Entitled “Restoring the Edentulous Lower Jaw with Locator Implant Abutments”
Apple Valley, MN (PRWEB) September 22, 2013 -- Dr. Ranier M. Adarve of Adarve Prosthodontics Learning Center is inviting general dentists and specialists to attend a seminar entitled “Restoring the Edentulous Lower Jaw with Locator Implant Abutments” on September 26, 2013, Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at 15322 Galaxie Ave., Suite 209, Apple Valley, MN 55124.
In the seminar, there will be lecture and hands-on components. During the lecture, Dr. Adarve will discuss (1) the consequences of clinical edentulism, (2) relative functional capacity of the lower jaw, (3) indications and treatment options, (4) instrumentation and prosthetic steps. The hands-on part will provide attendees the opportunity to restore a model of the edentulous mandible with implants, locator abutments and denture.
“The restoration of the edentulous mandible with traditional or conventional denture is no longer the most appropriate choice of treatment. The implant-supported overdenture has now become the standard of care and there are numerous research publications to support this.”

Seminar is free of charge but with limited seats availability. This is made possible due to support of Nobel Biocare.
