Uncover the intricacies of comprehensive, multidisciplinary planning aimed at eliminating the reliance on removable partial dentures. In this engaging session led by Dr Ali Afshar, we will explore a compelling case where a patient expresses the desire to free themselves from long-term dependence on removable prosthetics.
