In this technique course, we discuss step-by-step clinical procedures to prepare a denture for a chairside pick-up, using acrylic burs and the Denture Prep & Polish Kit to size a recess, prepare undercuts, and then strategies for placing block-out spacers and housings prior to pick-up.

Further, we discuss when things go well and how to avoid complications!

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the methods for a chairside pick-up of overdentures
• Recognize clinical benefits of chairside attachment versus indirect
