Webinar Details

The World Health Organisation classifies edentulism as a disability. This webinar, in collaboration with The College of General Dentistry, unpacks the details of this disability, looking at both qualitative and quantitative research in this field. It describes the quality of life of these individuals, both before and after all the teeth are lost. Furthermore, treatment modalities for this condition are discussed, from the most commonly provided conventional complete dentures, to management with dental implants for both removable and fixed prosthodontic solutions.
