An innovative resin offers exceptional impact resistance for strong, esthetic full-arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures
Dr. Rick Ferguson graduated from dental school at the University of Florida in 1993. He completed a general practice residency at University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital and is a clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Dr. Ferguson owns Ferguson Dental, Davie, FL. He was awarded diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantology, diplomate status in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and an associate fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He is also a member of the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Ferguson lectures nationally and along with his wife and partner, Dr. Katherine Ferguson, founded Implant Educators Academy. Dr. Ferguson works with various dental manufacturers including Pac-Dent.
As a course director for Implant Educators Academy—a live, hands-on, 7-month program that teaches dentists and specialists how to become implantologists—Dr. Rick Ferguson knows a thing or two about the keys to a successful implant restoration. And over the past year, he's found success by adding Rodin Titan to his All-On-X protocol. Here, Dr. Ferguson explains why Rodin Titan gives him confidence that his full-arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures will be both durable and esthetic.
Here in Florida, we have many patients who are “snowbirds.” We feel confident we can treat these patients with Rodin Titan prototypes, send them back to their homes farther north for several months, and not be worried about whether or not the provisional is secure. It’s strong enough to last the duration of the time they’re at their other homes, and that period of time away actually gives them a chance to adjust. When these patients return to Florida, we complete the permanent zirconia restoration.
Fast, Efficient Workflow
We’re also using Rodin Titan for same-day prototype crowns, using a digital design that’s based on an intraoral scan. The 3D-printing process is fast and accurate, our chairside work is reduced, and the workflow is fast and smooth. And the ROI? We can get about 40 arches and several hundred crowns from just a single bottle!
