Hands-on Workshop 


Converting the Failed Dentition to a Fixed Prosthesis 

A Hands-on Workshop for the All-On-Four Protocol 

For General Practitioners, Prosthodontists, Implant Surgeons and Lab Technicians 

overview: 

A landmark demographic study showed that while 

edentulism is decreasing as a percentage of total population, 

the population of edentulous patients is actually increasing 

because of aging baby boomers. Today, patients are holding 

onto failed teeth longer in hopes of avoiding the use of 

dentures they saw their parents struggle with. This course 

will offer you the opportunity to provide the treatment 

these patients desire – anything but the denture. 

Immediate load of dental implants provides a new solution 

for these patients to be treated without use of a denture. 

In one day, a patient with a compromised dentition can 

be edentulated, receive implants and a fixed bridge – 

eliminating the need for a denture. 

In this hands-on course, we will convert a denture to a fixed 

bridge on a dental cast – creating a patient education model 

you will be able to use in your office. We will review all 

clinical and laboratory steps required to convert the denture. 

In addition, we will simplify the challenging steps associated 

with creating the immediate denture necessary for this 

treatment protocol. Identifying the appropriate incisal edge 

position, finding centric relation and determination of the 

proper occlusal plane are all challenges when our patient has 

a compromised dentition. This course will provide solutions 

for these issues. 

Converting the denture isn’t the only necessary step in this 

protocol. Once the implants have osseointegrated a definitive 

prosthesis will need to be fabricated. That prosthesis can 

be fabricated in as few as four appointments – or as many 

as eight. You will learn how to determine whether the 

streamlined or extended protocol should be selected. 

The two most critical steps in fabrication of a successful 

definitive prosthesis will be demonstrated. 

This course is entirely based upon techniques and materials 

that can and should be implemented into everyday clinical 

practice. You will leave with increased confidence and a 

clear understanding of clinical treatment ideals, including: 

• Identifying the ideal patient for a conversion prosthesis. 

• Understanding the immediate denture records 

appointment. 

• Material preparation for the conversion appointment. 

• Hands-on completion of a conversion of a complete 

denture to a fixed bridge. 

• Evaluation of the provisional for the streamlined vs. 

comprehensive protocol. 

• Hands-on fabrication of an implant verification jig. 

• Review of techniques and a hands-on impression of a 

full arch implant cast. 

• Introducing the All-On-Four concept of fixed bridges. 

• Fabricate an All-On-Four patient education model that 

you can take back to your office. 

Using this conversion prosthesis, you will learn to treat 

patients in your practice that need to be edentulated but 

want to avoid ever wearing a denture.

Restorative Dentistry 

Restorative Centric, 

You Need To Start Somewhere 


MARK MALTERUD, DDS 

St Paul, MN 

DR. MALTERUD is a 1983 graduate of the University of 

Minnesota School of Dentistry and practices General and 

Family Dentistry in St. Paul, MN. His practice focuses on 

comprehensive cosmetic and general dentistry incorporating 

Minimally Invasive Biomimetic Dental Procedures. He is an 

adjunct faculty at The University of Minnesota Continuing 

Dental Education Department. 

Dr. Malterud is the Minnesota AGD’s Past President and 

now is the AGD Region 10 Trustee. He is an active member 

of the ADA; and is active in various local and national dental 

societies and study club groups. He sits on the Board of 

the World Congress of Minimal Invasive Dentistry and is a 

founding member of the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. 

He completed the L.D. Pankey Institute’s entire continuum 

on comprehensive dentistry. He has received his AGD 

Mastership and Life Long Learning and Service Recognition 

Award. He is also a Fellow in the American College of 

Dentists and Academy of Dentistry International. 

His commitment to dental education as a teacher and student 

has him attending over 150 hours of continuing education 

each year. He lectures both nationally and internationally. 

As an early user of the NTI splint he has had an opportunity 

to help refine its use and he consults with various dental 

manufacturers on product development and testing. 

Date: Friday, May 16, 2014 






This lecture will explore the use of an anterior midpoint stop 

splint (AMPS) as a starting point to deciding what directions to 

take a restorative case. By knowing where the joint wants to 

be in its most relaxed position allows us to establish records 

that can guide us along the restorative path to a beautiful 

healthy smile. Knowledge of the basic anatomy of the joint and 

muscles of mastication will be taught to help the participants 

understand the physiology of function and parafunction. 

An AMPS, such as the NTI, will allow not only establishing a 

restorative starting point but can help many of the patients 

in your practice who suffer from Migraines or tension 

headaches. This course will also cover the indications and 

contraindications of use of the AMPS and how the clinician 

can problem solve using the signs and symptoms that manifest 

from the devices. 

Learning objectives – you will: 

• Walk away with a better understanding of joint anatomy 

and how the excess muscle activity can trigger tension 

headaches and migrainous activities. 

• Have a step by step approach to achieve predictable 

results from understanding a starting reproducible jaw 

position. Whether it is establishing the vertical dimension 

of occlusion for a denture or a full mouth reconstruction, 

these devices or a form of them, can be used to find 

a relaxed and patient comfortable position. 

• Understand that there is a relationship between 

migrainous activity and nocturnal parafunctional activity 

and that this is all an extension of sleep disorders. 

• Learn the steps to fabricate an immediate in office AMPS 

and how to adjust it properly. Once the efficacy of the 

device is established, a technique for creating a 

laboratory fabricated device will be taught, as many of 

these patients don’t want to go a night without wearing 

their AMPS and often desire a back-up. 

• See varied uses of the device and understand how 

each of the different designs can help in creating a more 

comfortable patient.

Implant / Restorative Dentistry 

Hands-on Course 

The Two-Implant Mandibular Overdenture 

Restoring Quality of Life, As Well As Teeth 

Approximately 10% of Americans over the age of 18 are 

completely edentulous. A conventional maxillary denture 

suits the needs of most patients. However, mandibular 

dentures have problems with retention, stability, function 

and esthetics. This creates a less than ideal quality of life 

for these patients. A two-implant supported overdenture 

overcomes many of these problems and can be relatively 

cost effective, especially if their existing denture can be 

retrofitted at chairside obviating the expensive laboratory 

costs. The morning lecture is followed by an afternoon 

hands-on laboratory session consisting of implant placement 

and restoration in mannequins. 

Please Take our Preference Survey 




• Diagnosis and treatment planning. 

• Implant placement. 

• Impression techniques. 

• Restorative options (bar, ball attachments, 

locators and magnets.) 

• Retrofitting an existing denture. 

• Overdenture economics. 

• Complications. 

Objectives: 

• Improve quality of life of your patients. 

• Increase your patient pool. 

• Offer additional service in your practice.

Implant Options to Improve or 

Eliminate Complete Dentures 

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery 

Update in Oral Surgery for 

the Office-based General Practice 

Dental implants can be used to improve a removable 

prosthesis, or eliminate the need for a removable prosthesis 

completely. But how many implants are needed for an 

overdenture? Two? Four? More? Is the maxilla the same as 

the mandible? How can I tell? 

Success of an implant assisted or implant supported removable 

prosthesis is dependent on many factors: implant number, 

position and attachment system. These factors change 

considerably depending on the goal of treatment, patient’s initial 

complaints or whether the maxilla or mandible is being treated. 

Ways to rehabilitate an edentulous arch with an implant 

supported fixed prosthesis will also be presented. This type 

of case must be handled carefully in order to avoid a disaster 

on delivery day! 

A clear blueprint for diagnosis, treatment prescription and 

prosthesis fabrication will be presented. 

You will learn how to: 

• Assess number and position of implants needed to address 

a patient’s desires. 

• Discuss various overdenture treatment options. 

• Interpret a patient’s complaint with existing dentures. 

• Diagnose, design and fabricate implant overdentures. 

• Choose an attachment system for an overdenture. 

• Know if a full-arch case is suitable for a fixed vs. removable 

prosthesis. 

• Avoid common complications in replacing an edentulous 

arch with implants.

Among the most challenging of dental restorations is that of 

an anterior central incisor, particularly in the circumstance 

when the rest of the dentition is intact and attractive. 

A crown restoration, particularly implant-supported, 

requires an expanded perspective that includes a series of 

prosthodontic and surgical factors – esthetic, functional, 

material and soft tissue. 

This course will be presented in modules that highlight the 

major factors important in the successful treatment of the 

Single Implant Supported Anterior Crown. 


• The anatomic position of the implant – Good, OK, Impossible. 

• The Provisional Crown – the Blueprint. 

• Esthetic Dentistry 2014 – Wow! Beautiful. 

• Tooth Color – now you see it or do you? 

• Now I have it, what do I do? Contouring, adjustment and 

cementation. 

Participant Case Studies: 

Please bring study models, radiographs and pictures of any 

problem cases for which you would like to discuss treatment 

planning.
