Afternoon Workshop

Practical mouthguard session, focusing on pressure lamination construction.

Each participant may bring one maxillary model of a mouthguard case, poured up in hard stone and trimmed so there is no labial undercut, occlusal surface parallel to the base and the vestibular extension of the sulcus from the impression clearly visible. Correctly trimmed maxillary models will be provided for the afternoon workshop.
