You will be provided with two implant models along with all necessary
implant components and attachments. You will complete at least one bar
in wax during training and will receive a second bar already cast in metal.

This course is intended for the dental technician who wishes to learn how to wax up implant bars. Technicians should have some attachment experience; however, it is not a requirement. We will teach technicians how to design functional implant bars using our attachment systems.

Principles of parallelism, milling, and how to construct a low profile implant bar will be emphasized. The following are the implant bar attachment systems that will be used: VKS-SG Bar Patrix. Participants will learn how to select a suitable attachment for different applications.

Each participant will obtain one presentation-quality model, their completed restorations, along with a course booklet, accreditation from the National Board for Certification (6 hours per day), and a course certificate.

No attachment experience is necessary! This introductory workshop is specifically designed for technicians who wish to learn how to design and create restorations with two of Bredent's most popular attachments: the VS-3 vertical bar and the SG/OC ball attachments. In addition to physically fabricating study cases, each participant will learn the basic principles of the attachments, along with strategies on how to tackle common situations such as less than ideal space requirements, unusual case designs, and repairs. Basic instruments and supplies are furnished by Bredent USA, but participants may bring their favorite waxing instruments or tools if desired. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at no additional cost.

Each participant will obtain two presentation-quality models with their completed restorations, along with a course booklet, accreditation from the National Board for Certification (7 hours per day), and a course certificate.

This course is designed for technicians who would like to learn how to fabricate an implant overdenture superstructure, also known as an overcasting. Traditionally, these types of castings are done by laboratories that specialize in implants, attachments, and/or removable partial denture frames. Due to an overwhelming amount of inquiries on this type of work from our customers, Bredent USA would like to present simple techniques on how to fabricate overcastings. Laboratories of all sizes and specialties can benefit from fabricating this precision work without investing in costly equipment irrelevant to their specialty. This is an excellent way to eliminate the stress that often accompanies subletting this type of work to other laboratories. There are two simple techniques for fabricating a precision overcast: one is the lift-off version, which is applied with our pikuplast pattern resin directly onto the relieved implant bar with all attachment components on the master model. Two is the refractory method, in which the relieved implant bar with all attachment components in place is duplicated using a quality silicone duplicating material. Once the mold has set, any popular investment can be poured in to make the refractory model. After the refractory model has set and completely dried, wax is applied over the refractory version of the relieved implant bar and any of its attachment components. Any of these two techniques can be easily done by a laboratory that casts regularly.

Each participant will obtain a course booklet, accreditation from the National Board for Certification, (6 hours per day, and a course certificate.
