2022 marks a special occasion in the Ivoclar UK & Ireland calendar, as their BPS (biofunctional prosthetic system) turns 25, and in celebration are hosting the must-attend denture event of the year.
Since dentures first became available on the NHS over 70 years ago, we have witnessed some significant advancements to help meet the increasing demands of predictability, accuracy, patient quality of life and most recently the increasing demand for private high-end removable dentures.
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 with the BPS denture system – a protocol that has continuously evolved to meet and exceed these demands.
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, the Dr Jiro Abe SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture) technique and most recently the Ivotion Digital Denture System.
Network with & learn from denture experts
More than just a regular denture, BPS dentures are the product of a proven workflow and effective cooperation between dentists, CDTs 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 four reasons from just a few of our speakers, who are leading clinical and technical removable experts, to explain why you should attend what’s heralded as the ‘denture event of the year’.
Re-evaluate your denture business model.
“Once you realise there is a client base out there ready and waiting to be serviced by the private high-end denture market, then the BPS workflow and SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Dentures) technique has a place in your business.
Having the freedom to offer more treatment options, better quality materials, increased predictability, and ultimately greater patient satisfaction with BPS high-end dentures has potential to quadruple your business’ denture profitability.”
Continuously enhancing an already user-friendly system
“Complete removable prosthodontics is a complex discipline, as it requires the largest amount of anatomical and physiological knowledge of the human oral cavity. BPS helps remove the complexity by providing a systematic, patient-centric approach that offers complete ease-of-use and unsurpassed predictability across both the clinical and technical workflow.
For the patient this gives them reassurance we’re using the safest means to achieve maximum functionality and aesthetics, with high-end materials. I’m looking forward to showcasing some of my latest developments in finetuning the system and the results achieved.”
Going digital to remove the taboo of dentures
“Everything in the world is going digital - that’s why running a fully digital denture clinic requires the most advanced workflow on the market. The 25-year history of the BPS protocol gives us the ability to learn from the past, watch the present and create the future. It’s this advancement that has driven me to help remove the taboo of dentures amongst patients and introduce a new concept of bringing premium BPS dentures to high streets and shopping centres in the Netherlands.”
Bringing BPS denture education to the masses.
“After learning about it’s simple and easy-to-understand workflow for both clinicians and technicians, I realised how useful the BPS protocol could be for education. I’ve made it my mission to introduce the system into Japanese universities so that now the BPS name is widely recognised by the Japanese Society of Prosthodontics. I’m excited to share my experiences with the BPS system, in particular the closed-mouth impression technique, and helping deliver BPS education to the masses here in the UK.”
Expect an engaging and immersive 2-day agenda from leading clinical and technical removable experts, as they demonstrate the importance of teamwork and how the BPS system has provided dentists, CDTs and technicians globally with a systematic workflow that allows them to work together to provide premium dentures that meet the increasing demands of our patients.
Attendees to the event will see and hear first-hand top tips and tricks that will equip them 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.
Whether you are part of a team looking to enhance your removable prosthetic offering, or are already a BPS enthusiast, this 2-day event 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. The opportunity to discuss trends, talk business, challenge discussions, network with peers and amplify your skills and knowledge in modern denture solutions will be supported by an evening of dinner and entertainment.
