Pre-Course Requirements

It is a pre-course requirement that participants purchase Dr Abe’s book, Mandibular Suction-Effective Denture and BPS: A Complete Guide: 4 Steps from Start to Finish online from Amazon.

I encourage participants to read the book and practice the techniques if possible. The more you know prior to the course the more you will gain from the 2 days. I have attached two forms, the OHIP 14 which I will explain further during the course and the intra oral examination form. The oral examination form will help you assess the patients’ suitability. Pages 86-100 of the book will assist you with the oral examination form.
