Occlusion and Treatment planning: Supercharge your knowledge and efficiency

Speakers: Professor Riaz Yar
CPD: 16 Hours

Friday 20th & Saturday 21st February

BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY

The building blocks of any treatment plan starts with a sound understanding of the joints, muscles and being able to discern premature or unfavourable occlusal contacts. Prof Yar will go through practical exercises and protocols to help clinicians immediately improve their understanding of occlusal planning and which restorative cases need caution to avoid joint overloading and worsen TMD. This is an unmissable course for any clinician wanting to provide good long term aesthetic treatment. Fundamental pricniples of aesthetics, diagnostic workflows and treatment planning will be underpinned with evidence and utilising modern digital technology to demystify complex treatment planning.

Day 1- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Review the principles for aesthetics and a basic smile design
  • Outline the ideal examination pathway
  • Data collection and forming clear diagnoses
  • Treatment planning based on the 3 pillars, desirability, affordability and suitability
  • Providing patients with a clear treatment plan and when to break into clear check points for managing complex cases

Day 2- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Occlusion principles
  • TMJ assessment
  • Case selection and including occlusal principles for reducing complications
  • Hands on practical for TMJ assessment, and record taking

Tooth Wear: A masterclass in diagnosis, planning and injection moulding

Speakers: Prof Riaz Yar/Sanjay Sethi/Nik Sethi/Amit Patel
CPD: 16 Hours

Friday 6th & Saturday 7th March

BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY

This course will aim to outline the current status of assessment for tooth surface loss, its causes, prevalence and management with modern composite materials. From stabilising risk factors, identifying when to intervene, record taking, laboratory communication and a full patient workflow with injection moulding this 2 day course aims to transform your management of tooth surface loss, of smile design principles, and the incredible use of digital workflows in producing stents for injection moulding composite smiles. The predictability offered not only improves clinical reproducibility but is a fantastic treatment for increasing gross profit, especially when combined with whitening and clear aligner therapies.

Day 1- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Causes of tooth surface loss and identifying modern risk factors
  • Assessment and record taking principles
  • Diagnostic workflow for treatment planning
  • Case selection and identifying the need for interceptive treatments such as pre restorative orthodontics for functional improvements
  • Principles for CR record, and utilising modern digital workflows and smile design software for improved diagnostic processes
  • Hands on CR and TMJ assessment

Day 2- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • To understand the case selection for injection moulding
  • Outline a clear clinical workflow
  • Reviewing the current material selection and various methods for press fit/vs injection moulding
  • Hands on training for injection moulding with single shade reinforced high strength flowable materials

Stunning anterior composites - Layered, edge bonding and Bioclear black triangle closures

Speakers: Nik Sethi/Elaine Mo/Josh Patel/Sanjay Sethi
CPD: 16 Hours

Friday 20th & Saturday 21st March

BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY

This 2 day course will demystify the world of anterior freehand composites. The structure of the course will outline a clear workflow for shade, shape and cavity assessment as well as outline biofilm removal and a predictable universal bonding protocol. We will then discuss and have hands on training on a Class IV simplified layered technique vs more contemporary single shade semi injection techniques with edge bonding and closing black triangles. Using minimal shades and instruments and a clear shaping/polishing protocol we aim to help clinicians improve aesthetic predicability, efficiency and profitability

Day 1- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Decision making for when to choose a layered approach vs single shade. Shade selection and understanding desired shapes
  • Cavity preparation for maximum adhesive and aesthetic potential
  • A simplified layering technique for Class IV composite restorations.
  • Simplified shaping protocol to achieve line angles and a stunning shine
  • Hands on practice on all stages outlined

Day 2- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Management of multiple teeth and planning to consider single shade restorations and when to use digital workflows and opt for injection
    moulding
  • Edge bonding considerations and case selection to avoid failures
  • Simplified single shade management for worn edges post orthodontics
  • Closure of black triangles with Bioclear for maximum aesthetic and predicable outcomes
  • Hands on training for Bioclear matrix semi injection moulding to close black triangles and manage multiple teeth
  • Shaping and polishing Protocols

Direct composites versus Indirect ceramic onlays: A posterior decision making masterclass

Speakers: Nik Sethi/Elaine Mo/Sanjay Sethi/Riaz Yar
CPD: 16 Hours

Friday 17th & Saturday 18th April

BOOK YOUR PLACE TODAY

This 2 day course will reset the foundations for clinicians in daily decision making for posterior teeth. We will discuss the evidence-based criteria for when to go direct and when to opt for a more predictable indirect solution to help remove confusion. This innovative course covers a full workflow from modern cavity designs for adhesive restorations, preparations for minimal onlays, adhesive protocols, deep margin elevation, isolation and cementation. Occlusal principles are also covered for improved accuracy when refining post operative contact points to ensure long term predictable and aesthetic results

Day 1- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Treatment planning, occlusion and criteria for direct or indirect posterior restorations
  • Cavity design for modern composite restorations and utilising sectional matrices bands
  • Adhesive principles and clear protocols for reduced failure rates
  • Simplified layered single shade build up and occlusal adjustments with precision
  • Hands on training on all aspects covered above

Day 2- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

  • Preparation protocols for functional indirect posterior onlays (FIPO)
  • Immediate dentine sealing and deep margin elevation principles
  • Mini core build up and scanning/record taking tips
  • Cementation of ceramic onlays with light cured materials for ultimate aesthetics and strength
  • Hands on preparation for FIPO, and cementing an onlay with light cured materials for a full workflow
