Overview
About this course
PerioPros runs this two-day removable prosthodontics course with Ken’ichi Matsuda, Yuko Kurushima and Junaid Malik. It combines clinical planning with practical exercises on models. The next advertised UK date is 10-11 April 2027 in Manchester.
Day one: complete dentures
The morning connects denture anatomy and form with primary impressions, special-tray construction and alternative final-impression methods. Afternoon teaching examines bite registration, its role in the result and practical ways to record it. Delegates mark out a special tray on a model and practise arranging denture teeth.
Day two: occlusion and partial dentures
Teaching covers bilateral balanced occlusion, analysis of contact points and the factors influencing partial-denture success. Case discussions address preparation before impressions. Model exercises include rest-seat preparation, guide planes and tooth recontouring.
Before booking
Confirm the Manchester venue, daily attendance times, CPD hours, inclusions and current fee with PerioPros. The course page contains inconsistent prices and an older London venue, so these cannot be assigned reliably to the April intake. Use the Manchester registration option on the linked course page and confirm the final total, including any VAT.
