P246 Domiciliary Denture Provision - A Clinical Dental Technicians Approach Part 2

About This Course

The second of a two-part recorded webinar series in collaboration with the College of General Dentistry, presented by Caroline Persaud and Mike Brindle, aims to explore the benefits that Clinical Dental Technicians can provide with Domiciliary Denture Care.

In this recorded webinar the speakers explore some of the more practical components involved in delivering domiciliary denture provision. The presentation focuses on the equipment required, and the clinical techniques that can be used, to treat patients in residential settings.

Tips about the qualities required by a Dental Professional, to gain a patients’ trust and confidence to ensure that you will be patient, professional and provide the best denture care to suit their needs, are provided.
