Description:
Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla is known to be challenging and requires meticulous planning. The purpose of this course is to describe a novel classification system, the Lip-Tooth-Ridge (LTR), that offers a guidepost for treatment planning the edentulous maxilla for fixed or removable prostheses. This tool will help clinicians identify the final prosthetic design and will provide a case-specific risk assessment guide.
