Implant overdentures start to finish — 60 short lectures on surgery, restoration and repairs with Ivan Chicchon
Ivan Chicchon, a surgically trained prosthodontist, demystifies locator-retained cases in Overdentures supported by implants. Across 11 modules and sixty bite-sized lectures — a little over five hours — he pairs benchtop demonstrations with real clinical appointments, so you can follow one workflow from implant placement through impressions, try-in, delivery and the fixes that come later.

What you’ll be able to do
- Plan implant number and position for a lower or upper overdenture

Inside the course
Tools and treatment planning
Chicchon opens with the parts you will handle — locator abutments, housings, impression copings and block-out devices — then covers how many implants a case needs and where they should sit.
Surgery on patient and model
A full mandibular case and a maxillary benchtop demonstration show alveoplasty, flap design, preparation and angle evaluation, giving you both the live and the slowed-down view.
The restorative sequence
Five appointments walk from alginate records and border molding to the wax try-in and final delivery, each shown clinically and on the bench with matching lab slips.
Alternatives, complications and repairs
Chairside relines, pickups, nylon changes, awkward angles and the see-saw denture are all addressed, plus a chew test for diagnosing occlusion.
