This is an introductory course for implant retained dentures. We will review the
principles behind different kinds of implant abutments and housing systems related
to removable implant dentures. We will use a “Locator-like” system, a housing and
abutment system that utilizes PEEK liners instead of soft nylon liners, as reference. We
will also discuss the pros and cons of systems on the market.

The goal of the course is to show the audience the principles of implant retained
removable dentures and the many options out there that are best suited for their
patients.
