CV
He was born in 1983 in Konya/Ereğli. He completed his primary, secondary and high school education in Antalya and started his undergraduate education at Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry in 2002. In 2007, he completed his education and in 2008, he started his doctorate in the Department of Prosthodontics at the same faculty. Between 2008-2009, he continued his doctoral education at the Faculty of Dentistry of Warsaw University, Poland and worked as a visiting researcher. In 2013, he presented his doctoral thesis on "The Effect of Different Mucosa Thicknesses on Stress Distribution on Two Types of Implant-Supported Overdenture Design" and left the Research Assistant position in the same department in 2014.
Between 2014-2018, he worked as an Assistant Professor at Istanbul Medipol University Faculty of Dentistry. In 2018, he was appointed as Assistant Professor at Bezmialem Vakıf University Faculty of Dentistry and in 2020, he was appointed as Associate Professor at the same university. He still continues his duty at the same university.
He has participated in many national and international congresses and symposiums and has made oral and poster presentations in these congresses. He continues his academic studies with national and international researches in his field. He is a member of the Turkish Society of Prosthodontics and Implantology.
Impression Techniques in the All-on-Four Concept; Conventional vs Digital
There are a number of factors that challenge clinicians in the construction of implant-retained fixed prostheses developed as an alternative to removable prostheses in cases of complete edentulism. Irregular bone formations and increased interocclusal distance due to advanced bone loss limit the construction of conventional prostheses and therefore require technical modifications. In such cases, fixed prosthetic rehabilitation with a minimum number of implants without the need for invasive surgical interventions is possible with the development of prosthetic materials and techniques used. Supported by 4 implants, this concept has important biological and biomechanical parameters. The basis of success in prostheses with All-on-Four substructure depends on the correct indication, the exact transfer of the measurement taken with the correct techniques to the model and the passive adaptation of the prosthetic infrastructure into the mouth. Today, it is known that the case-based selection of conventional and digital impression techniques, which are accepted to be superior to each other, directly affects the success of prosthetic treatment. In the half-day training, the trainees will first gain a holistic perspective on the All-on-Four concept with theoretical training, followed by the practical phase and will have the opportunity to learn the technique in question by observing the instructor. In the 2nd part of the practical training, under the supervision of the instructor, they will gain experience by personally practicing conventional impression taking with splinted implants in the open tray technique on specially prepared models.
