Ivoclar ‘Masters of Removable Prosthetics’ 2-day event

You’re invited to the 25TH ANNIVERSARY BPS DENTURE EVENT!

Carl Fenwick, Professional Services Manager at Ivoclar

UK & Ireland, gives an insight into this years’ must-attend denture event for dental technicians and CDTs.

From the first known set of dentures in 700 BC to the breakthrough of natural-looking dentures becoming available on the NHS in 1951 – the history of dentures continues to live on as Ivoclar celebrate the 25th anniversary of the BPS (biofunctional prosthetic system).

This October 21st - 22nd, Ivoclar will be holding a 2-day ‘Masters of Removable Prosthetics’ event at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, dedicated to celebrating over a quarter of a century of denture innovation. The 2-day programme has been carefully designed to take delegates on a journey of the evolution of the system, right from its roots with the original Gnathomat, to the introduction of the BPS workflow in 1997, and onto the most recent innovation of the Ivotion Digital Denture System.

More than just a regular denture, BPS dentures are the product of a proven workflow and effective cooperation between dentists and dental technicians alike. With a passion to ensure all dental professionals get the opportunity to discover why BPS really is a great choice for your premium denture solutions, here’s five reasons to attend what’s heralded as the ‘denture event of the year’.

1 Attend for speakers, techniques, and tips & tricks

World renowned speakers, who are leading clinical and technical removable experts, will unite for two days to commend the BPS denture system. Collectively, they will demonstrate the importance of teamwork and how the system has provided clinicians and technicians around the world with a systematic workflow that allows them to work alongside each other to provide premium dentures that meet the increasing demands of our patients.

Expect an engaging and immersive agenda, from showcasing some of the research and development which went into creating the BPS system and how it is still relevant today, to discussing the evolution of Dr Jiro Abe’s Suction denture (SEMCD), and even how one CDT has brought digital dentures into a high fashion shopping centre.

2 Attend for private demand

As dentistry emerged from Covid, the profession experienced an increase in demand from patients wanting private dentistry. Consequently, many dentists and dental technicians are seeking ways to upskill to meet this new demand.

When it comes to private removable denture options, this can present a new challenge as upskilling often requires learning new techniques, plus it can take a significant amount of time to become proficient enough to use them confidently and successfully.

Attendees to the event will benefit from seeing how universities, dentists, dental technicians, and CDTs alike have mastered the system. Hear first-hand their top tips and tricks that will equip you with the knowledge to be able to deliver a more predictable workflow and provide patients with high quality dentures that fit well, function properly and have great aesthetics.

3 Attend for predictable workflows

It took me until the latter part of my career to achieve a denture workflow that ran like a well-oiled machine, with every part working together perfectly. The BPS protocol gave me the foundation to do that. It offered me a systematic clinical and technical workflow of tried and tested techniques, developed from many years of practice, and combined it with the most innovative materials and equipment to create the most stable, functional, and highly aesthetic dentures.

The system is trusted by dental professionals globally and has been used as a base to develop some of the most successful and accurate techniques for producing removable and implant prosthetics. This includes the Dr Jiro Abe SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture) technique and most recently the Ivotion Digital Denture System, which allows digital dentures to be delivered in just two appointments.

4 Attend for learning about digital

CDT, Thomas Doblander will take to the stage to discuss how the recent advancements of the Ivotion Digital Denture System has revolutionised and transformed the digital manufacture of dentures, with its one disc, one milling process, one denture concept.

Thomas will emphasise how today’s dental professionals can use both analogue and digital approaches. In combining proven highquality tooth and denture base materials in a single bi-colour milling disc, Ivotion offers laboratories a truly efficient and predictable milling solution that results in patient-specific functional dentures with life-like aesthetics and unparalleled strength.

5 Attend for networking and entertainment

One of the most common things I get asked by dentists is, “Do you know a lab who does BPS?” and from labs “How can I forge a relationship with a private dentist?”. In my opinion, one of the best ways is to network and attend events, shows and study clubs.

Taking place at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, delegates to the ‘Masters of Removable Prosthetics’ 2-day event can expect ample opportunity to connect with other like-minded dentists, CDTs, and technicians. The opportunity to discuss trends, talk business, challenge discussions, and amplify their skills and knowledge in 21st century denture solutions will be supported by an evening of dinner and entertainment.

AN ATTRACTIVE MARKET IS EMERGING BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY If you’re part of a team looking to enhance your removable prosthetic offering, I believe this is the denture event for you – as you get to hear first-hand from clinical and technical removable experts about one of the most advanced and proven denture systems on the market.

Similarly, if you’re already a BPS enthusiast then this 2-day event still has lots to offer, and promises to be full of incredibly useful information, tips, and tricks as well as real life advanced applications from those who use the system daily. Plus, you’ll get to network with peers and celebrate being one of the thousands of dental professionals using this system.
