MASTERING ESTHETIC DENTISTRY WITH CERAMICS
The Complete Hands-on Course from Digital
Smile Design to Preparation and Bonding of
Ceramic Restorations
- Date: September 8th - 9th, 2022
- Location: Miami, FL | TBD
From Smile Design, Anterior Laminate Veneers, and Resin-bonded Bridges to Posterior Inlays/Onlays/Overlays and Crowns
Learn everything you wanted to know about how to MASTER ESTHETIC DENTISTRY with CERAMICS in this complete hands-on course.
Starting with esthetic evaluation and digital smile design with the revolutionary software Smilefy, you will learn to apply smile design principles, patient-based treatment planning, and tooth preparations for esthetic ceramic restorations. We will cover everything from bonded laminate veneers to inlays/onlays/overlays, crowns, and even resin-bonded bridges and give you the opportunity to perform and practice updated minimally invasive tooth preparation designs. You will learn selection of the most appropriate ceramic materials based on patients’ needs and most current scientific research on optical and physical properties. We will clarify best cementation and resin bonding protocols for each ceramic material and indication in a step-by-step manner, which you can apply and practice yourself in this course. This complete 2-day course offers a unique comprehensive didactic and practical hands-on experience on the latest restorative treatment options, technologies, concepts, and materials in a personalized small-group learning environment. Attendance is extremely limited for an exclusive learning experience.
