This 3-day course will provide a comprehensive didactic and practical hands-on experience on the latest restorative treatment options, technologies, concepts, and materials in a personalized environment.

From Anterior Laminate Veneers and Resin-bonded Bridges to Posterior Inlays/Onlys/Overlays and Crowns

Fundamental aesthetic guidelines are the basis for accurate treatment planning and smile design. Their proper understanding and clinical application allows for minimally invasive tooth preparations and selection of the most appropriate and aesthetic ceramic materials. Ideal preparation design and understanding of cementation and resin-bonding principles for the various treatment options and ceramic materials available are key for long-term clinical success.

Starting with aesthetic guidelines and smile design, this course will allow participants to learn and practice tooth preparation designs for resin-bonded restorations. These range from bonded laminate veneers to inlays/onlays/overlays and resin-bonded bridges. Participants will then scan their preparations with an intraoral scanner. Selection of the most appropriate ceramic materials based on scientific information on optical and physical properties as well patient’s individual needs will be discussed and explained. Participants will learn how to sinter, process, and finish different ceramic materials. Cementation and bonding protocols for ceramics are not universal and have to be adapted to the specific ceramic material selection in any given clinical situation. Participants will apply and practice different cementation and bonding protocols for various indications and materials in a step-by-step manner.

Learn essential information about PRF (platelet rich fibrin) and PRP (platelet rich plasma) and put your new knowledge into action by performing venipuncture, using the centrifuge to separate blood, and understanding the applications of PRF in your clinic practice
