Denture Power Days Gerber Lingualized - Edmonds Dental Prosthetics

Denture Power Days | Gerber Lingualized

Next Open Course - 2026

Ideal Participants

Course Overview:

Denture Power Days combines two comprehensive courses, offering a strong foundation in both the theory and practice of full dentures—including tooth setup based on Gerber.

Day 1: The Technical Foundations of Full Dentures

Full dentures are a frequently underestimated yet highly challenging form of restoration that not only reestablishes primary oral function but also significantly influences the patient’s orofacial appearance and social interactions. This course will refresh and reinforce both anatomical knowledge and the prosthetic principles of the GERBER concept, focusing on the clinical and technical steps necessary for the fabrication of high-quality, handcrafted full dentures.

This session will revisit and reinforce the anatomical and prosthetic knowledge required for fabricating highly aesthetic and functional full dentures. Participants will deepen their understanding of the clinical and technical procedures essential for successful outcomes.

Day 2: Setup according to the GERBER concept

The focus of this course is on model analysis, average anterior tooth set-up and posterior tooth set-up based on GERBER with the Condyloform II NFC+.

Topics Covered

The fundamentals: Support and position stability

Situation model

Functional tray

Functional model, pre-bite registration

Esthetic control templates

Intraoral support pin registration templates

Registrations, esthetic and functional data carriers, orientation of the models in the articulator

Step sequence of the model analysis

Average anterior tooth set-up

Chewable centre

Sequence and positioning of posterior teeth according to Gerber

Static and dynamic occlusion with the Condyloform II NFC+

From the Teacher

Restoring fully edentulous patients is a challenging but rewarding objective requiring skilled dentists to capture clinical data and technicians to implement it into prosthetic design. Complete dentures must not only restore function, esthetics, phonetics, but also replace lost tissues, demanding diverse skills including anatomy, biology, physics, communication, and craftsmanship. Simplification efforts have yet to lead to better prosthetics.
