Rules, Tools &
Strategies for Successful Cosmetic Dentistry
Day One - A Comprehensive 4 part lecture on
-
Getting it right from the outset
Correct assessment is essential to
aesthetic dentistry. We will begin by looking at smile design to
learn how to visualise what we want to create, and we will also
look at how to assess how difficult a case is likely to be based
on this.
-
Foundational skills for indirect
aesthetic dentistry
Every indirect case involves a high level
of communication between the dentist and the technician. In this
session we will discuss how to utilize your technician to his
full potential via s diagnostic wax-up as out "blue print for
success". The impression is a vital part of the communication
with the technician; yet it is often poorly done due to
limitation in the single stage putty / wash technique that is
commonly used. We will examine alternative techniques that give
excellent impressions time after time. Another vital area is the
provisional restoration. If done correctly, these will give the
patient a preview of what they can expect fro the final
restorations. Finally, we will look at how to choose the right
ceramic for our restorations before discussing how to fit and
finish the case.
-
The other important factors in
aesthetic dentistry
Occlusion is the key to successful long
term treatment. Many failures can be attributed to mismanagement
of occlusal forces. Tissue managements is as important and we
will discuss the issues of gingival biotypes and biologic width
and how these factors influence the options we have in the
treatment plan.
-
Veneers - Putting theory into
practice
To put our newly-learned skills into
practice we will look at some straightforward veneer cases at
each stage of their execution - from smile design to fitting.
Limited attendance ticketed event
Day Two and Three - Participation Course
Participants will assess and plan some typical
smile makeover cases, then execute their treatment plan by
completing their planned preparations on models using the methods
demonstrated. They will also be able to compare the different
techniques for accurate impression-taking and also can practice the
important technique of temporization using the method demonstrated.
Day Three will be dedicated to the technique of
Fabrication of the veneers - demonstrated by the technician. This
will include staining and characterization of the porcelain,
techniques of cementation using adhesives and finishing of the
cosmetic procedures.
