Study Club 4 Managing Edgar the Sceptic with a Scandinavian removable partial denture Finlay Sutton

This edition features the case of Edgar, who sought help for a poorly fitting, acrylic-based partial denture that rocked, affected his speech, and caused discomfort. After considering various treatment options, including dental implants, Edgar opted for a metal-based removable partial denture, designed by myself with input from my technician, Rowan Garstang.

Despite significant improvements in comfort and aesthetics, Edgar expressed dissatisfaction with the denture's slight movement during certain jaw movements. This case underscores the importance of setting clear expectations, communicating limitations early, and ensuring both the patient and I are aligned on what can realistically be achieved. I must also be careful not to exaggerate the benefits of the treatment, to avoid creating false expectations.

Study Club Live 4 Restoring Jan’s Smile: Complete Dentures Inspired by Her Daughter - Finlay Sutton

This month's case features the complete denture provision for Jan, a healthy 66-year-old who desired a smile mimicking her daughter's. Back in the 1990s, a growth was removed from her anterior mandible, and the area was skin grafted. Interestingly, she was still using the same complete dentures made over 30 years ago, which was now very worn. The tooth positions were incorrect too, with the upper teeth placed to far back over the ridge giving poor lip support. The lower denture included an extension at the front to fit over the altered anatomy.
