Finlay's Case Presentation

Welcome to my February 2022 Newsletter Case Presentation

This newsletter describes in step by step detail Mark’s treatment with Class II div 2 complete metal based dentures.

This 83 year old man was referred to me by his general dental practitioner for treatment.

Dental concerns
“My false teeth are too large making it very difficult to eat and talk properly”

Dental wish list
“Please rectify”

Following consultation, the patient chose to have replacement upper and lower conventional metal based dentures made.

The clinical situation and treatment process is shown in detail below with photographs. I (Finlay Sutton) provided the clinical work and Rowan Garstang provided the technical work.

Would you like to learn exactly how to do this? If yes, please come on my next 2 day Complete Denture Masterclass in Lancaster on Thursday March 24 to Friday March 25 2022. There are 3 spaces left. I give lectures and live clinical demonstrations. The hands on component is to do a try in for Keith, my patient with complete dentures, copying his dentate photograph. Rowan Garstang, (my dental technician) and Claire (my dental nurse) are there to help too. The cost is £2,889.60. We would love to see you. The course is organised through Schottlander. If you would like to book or find out more information please contact Adele at Schottlander - courses@schottlander.co.uk

Introducing Our Upcoming Textbook: Removable Partial Dentures

I’m thrilled to share that I’m currently writing a textbook on removable partial dentures (RPDs) with Dr. John Besford, my mentor, and an incredible prosthodontist who has profoundly shaped my journey in dentistry. John’s knowledge, passion, and skill have inspired me to view removable prosthodontics not just as a technical endeavor but as an art that, when mastered, can have a transformative impact on patients' lives. Working with him on this book has been a privilege and a wonderful learning experience.
