Educational Objectives

Course Breakdown

For more than a decade, the term "Terminal Dentition" has unquestionably gained traction in the dental community and implies that there is a need to remove a patient's remaining dentition. But how do we reach such a conclusion? Does it mean the same to everyone? The reality is that the term Terminal Dentition is actually a "dentist-made term." At present, among dental practitioners, the ideal Prosthodontic solutions for this segment of the population is controversial.

This presentation will include a discussion on a linear algorithm that allows the treating team to decide when to give up hope on the remaining dentition and provides a classification system that will help evaluate the available restorative possibilities.

Learning Objectives

  • Review a treatment planning algorithm that facilitates the assessment of the remaining dentition.
  • Review a simple Classification (LTR Classification) that helps identify the patient's condition and therefore decide the ideal treatment design for each patient.
  • Improve communication among the members of the dental team.
