Full Mouth Rehabilitation Course
A one-year, in-person course taking general dentists through full mouth rehabilitation from first consultation to final delivery, combining seminars with hands-on practicals.
Each module stands alone and can be booked individually, or taken in sequence as the full course. Places are deliberately limited so every delegate gets close, interactive teaching.
Treatment Planning & Record Taking
Identify, plan and record full mouth rehabilitation cases from scratch.
Case identification & presentation
- RATE & SCICW methodology
- What a full mouth rehab patient looks like
- Communicating rehabilitation to patients
- Treatment vs monitoring mindset
- Initial photography and scheduling
- Fee structure and financial planning
Treatment planning
- FGTP & EFSB frameworks
- Keynote as a planning and presentation tool
- Interdisciplinary timing, sequencing and specialist communication
- Contingency planning and consent
- Fee planning strategies
Record taking
- Full photographic and radiographic series
- Facebow transfer technique
- CR records using leaf gauges
- TMJ/TMD screening and airway assessment
- Wax-up prescription and lab communication
- Mock-up appointment planning
Preparations & Provisionals
Prepare and provisionalise teeth within a full mouth rehabilitation.
Preparation techniques
- Avoiding biological width invasion
- APT/Gurel technique: only prep where you have to
- Sufficient reduction for your restorative goals
- Bur selection and use
- Core build-ups, cord placement and refinement
- BOPT vs vertical prep: when, how and why
- Veneer vs crown vs onlay preparations
Provisionals
- PMMA vs bisacryl
- Wax-up vs shell provisionals
- Clear matrix vs putty
- Semi-indirect fabrication
- Remargination and relining
- Staining and glazing for aesthetics
- Occlusion, splinting and full mouth provisionals
- Cementing and removing efficiently
Reviewing provisionals
- First vs second phase provisionals
- Reading failures and adjusting
- Assessing speech, aesthetics and function
- Consenting patients with provisionals
- Lab communication via provisionals
- Final impressions and cross-mounting
Occlusion
Apply occlusion confidently so rehabilitations are comfortable, stable and built to last.
Centric relation vs MIP
- When to use which position
- CR–MIP slides
- Joint vs muscle pain
- Equilibration
- Articulators and facebows: why we use them
- Communicating cants to the lab
Vertical dimension
- Why and when to increase
- How much, and how to do it
- Using CR
- Lower arch equilibration
- Setting VD with anterior 3–3 provisionals
Anterior & posterior restorations
- The three types of excursion
- Types of wear: pathway, edge-to-edge, crossover
- Stopping anterior and posterior work from breaking
- Anterior guidance
- Long axis forces
- Canine guidance vs group function
Composite Resin Rehabilitation
When and how to rehabilitate with composite, from minimally invasive staging to long-term maintenance.
When to use composite
- Staging and minimally invasive care
- Erosive wear
- Younger patients
- Teeth needing little restoration
- Working alongside orthodontists
Methods & function
- Freehand, injection and pressure moulding
- Hybrid approaches
- Layering 2–2
- Finishing and polishing
- Occlusal scheme and reaching CR anterior 3–3 first
Maintenance
- Stain resistance
- Managing fractures
- Refurbish, repair or replace
- Conversion to ceramic
- Gingival health
- Night appliances
The Delivery Appointment
Evaluate lab work, then try in, bond and review final restorations predictably.
Evaluating lab work
- Asking for pre-approval
- Aesthetic and functional feedback
- Lab prescriptions
- Material choice: veneers, crowns, implants
- Occlusal considerations
- Preparing patients for try-ins
Methods
- Isolation techniques
- Try-in and review: provisionals vs finals
- Bonding
- Cementation
- Clean-up techniques
Review
- Final photographs
- Occlusal checks
- Night guard fabrication
- Warranty and maintenance
- Feedback and marketing
Interdisciplinary Treatment
Plan and sequence orthodontics, periodontics, implants and endodontics within a rehabilitation.
Orthodontics & periodontics
- Zenith and functional alignment
- Prescribing ortho for papilla and bone
- Fixed vs aligners, molars and TADs
- Crown lengthening, APE/AAE
- Grafting and restorative margins
- Managing periodontally involved teeth
Surgery & implants
- Planning implants
- Restoring implants
- Sequencing implants
- Soft and hard tissue considerations
- Material choice
Endodontics
- Saving vs extracting
- Apical surgery
- Keeping cores and root-treated teeth
- Using provisionals
- Fee setting
