A unique two day course suitable for Dentists, current and prospective CDT’s
With 15 hours enhanced cpd.
Presented by Dr Finlay Sutton & Mr Rowan Garstang.
A two day limited attendance clinical and laboratory course with a live demonstration on a patient requiring replacement complete dentures made to resemble as closely as possible her original natural dentition. During the course various clinical and laboratory techniques will be demonstrated culminating in the fitting and testing of the new denture. With a limit of 10 participants and given the time available, it will be possible to demonstrate additional clinical and laboratory procedures in line with delegates interests and requirements.

Finlay regards Rowan as one of the finest removable prosthodontic technicians in the world. During this extended course they will impart their clinical & technical expertise.
