About the Event

This is a 2 Day Hand On Course with Jason Smithson
Dates: Friday 2nd Feb + Saturday 3rd Feb 2024

A comprehensive approach for the restoration of anterior teeth with all-ceramic veneers and crowns with both vertical and horizontal margins. The emphasis is on adhesive, minimally invasive tooth-coloured restorations: from treatment planning, through preparation, impression taking, provisionalisation and final cementation/finishing. Cutting edge, evidence based theoretical knowledge will be complemented by a live hands-on demonstration and delegate hands-on.

What you will learn:

• Which margin, when and why? Vertical vs Horizontal Margin Design.
• The Pillars of Adhesive Preparation Design: make your in vivo preps approach in vitro bond strengths.
• The Concept of Ferrule (Vertical and Horizontal)
• Tissue Management for long-term periodontal health.
• How to contour provisionals.
• The importance of Biologic Width
• Impression Taking (materials, trays, and techniques)
• Conditioning of Intaglio…not all materials are equal.
• Which cement and why…simple usable day-to-day protocols
• Cementation and Finishing Procedures for invisible margins.
• Preparation, planning and cementation of adhesive bridgework with lithium disilicate and zirconia.

And much, much more…….

Live Demonstration and Hands-On:

• Preparation of an upper central and lateral incisor for a ceramic veneer and provisionalisation.
• Preparation of an upper central incisor for a zirconia crown (vertical margins).
• Preparation of upper lateral incisor for an all-ceramic crown (horizontal margins)
• Preparations for adhesive bridgework (Lithium disilicate and zirconia)
