Prof Jung-Bo Huh
Brief Synopsis of the Lecture Topic
This lecture presents a streamlined approach to complete denture fabrication, comparing a one-day digital denture workflow with a two-visit conventional protocol in which final impression and jaw relation record are obtained in a single appointment.
The session begins with a concise review of the fundamental principles of complete denture prosthodontics. Key topics include the ideal anatomical and functional form of a complete denture, determination of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and centric relation (CR), and establishment of an appropriate occlusal plane. These foundational concepts provide the clinical basis for predictable esthetic and functional outcomes.
The lecture then introduces the clinical application of the JB Tray system and the use of the JB Fork for accurate jaw relation recording. Step-by-step protocols will be explained, highlighting how these tools enable simultaneous acquisition of definitive impression and interocclusal records.
A hands-on clinical demonstration will be performed on a mannequin model, showcasing:
- Final impression taking using JB Tray
- Jaw relation recording
- Data acquisition using an intraoral scanner
- Post-scan jaw relation recording using JB Fork
In addition, a demonstration of the subsequent laboratory workflow and digital denture design process will be presented, illustrating how the captured clinical data are transferred into a complete digital fabrication sequence.
Through this integrated workflow - from chairside procedures to digital design - participants will learn how to reduce patient visits, simplify clinical procedures, and enhance accuracy and efficiency in complete denture fabrication.
This lecture is designed to provide clinicians with practical, immediately applicable protocols for both digital and conventional denture treatment in daily practice.

TOPIC 1: Digital Denture Design
Subtitle: Seamless Workflow using 3Shape & Ivoclar Ivotion
Description: The core of this presentation is the implementation of traditional analog tooth arrangement principles within a digital environment. We will explore both analog and digital denture fabrication workflows utilizing the JB tray.
In the digital segment, this session provides a comprehensive guide to efficient and precise denture design using 3Shape software integrated with the Ivoclar Ivotion module. It further covers three distinct digital fabrication concepts, focusing on maintaining sophisticated design standards while ensuring high-precision manufacturing
TOPIC 2: Esthetic Denture Characterization
Subtitle: Advanced Gingiva Festooning with Ivoclar SR Nexco (Live Demo)
Description: Elevate the artistry of your prosthetic work by mastering gingival characterization. In this live demonstration, the speaker - who holds the record for the most Nexco denture cases in Korea and has been teaching the system for five years - will showcase how to recreate lifelike gingival architecture using Ivoclar SR Nexco.
The session begins with a theoretical foundation on the textures and shades of Nexco resin, explaining the color-matching techniques required to mimic natural tissue. This is followed by a live "build-up" demonstration on a denture base, where the speaker will reveal the specific layering techniques used to achieve professional-grade esthetic results.
