As dentists, we must not only rely on the materials but on our own ability to treatment plan and diagnose based on a multi-factorial situation. We must be careful in our preparation, design, and be meticulous in our bonding techniques. Failures in dentistry are frequently blamed on the materials. In reality; "user error" is often the culprit.
In this one-day seminar, Dr. Kugel will highlight the latest information and evidence on a variety of esthetic dentistry related topics and clinical procedures. Aimed at dentists and their staff, this course will provide relevant clinical information to assist dentists in their everyday practice.
Participants will learn:
-
A comprehensive review of core principles of esthetic dentistry related to tooth form and function—tooth position, occlusal function. Most important, what you need to know to stay out of trouble.
-
Why esthetics is secondary to proper function!
-
All-ceramic options for indirect anterior and posterior restorations. What to do and when to use them.
-
Porcelain laminate veneers—what not to do.
-
Digital impression making and chairside CAD/CAM. Has it's time finally come?
-
Advances in adhesive dentistry. Are the new generations all they are claimed to be?
-
Tooth whitening, "in-office" and "take-home". How they work and what is best for your patients. Light-activated bleaching—the facts!
-
Esthetic case maintenance.
You will get practical and cost-effective information that you can use immediately in your practice.
