Ruth Bourke is regarded as one of the top experts in removable prosthetics, and collaborated with the dental manufacturer to produce the Enigma Premium Denture System. Ruth will discuss tooth selection, setting teeth and occlusion. She will demonstrate anatomical waxing of the gums and the use of Enigma color tones to custom match denture flanges.
