This excellent course will outline the key principles for creating a predictable smile and case selection for anterior veneers and when to consider crowns. The treatment process and milestones will be outlined for a smooth patient journey from initial digital design, diagnostic trials through to precision made provisional and preparation protocols. The course will then conclude with cementation protocols and case problem solving.

Day 1- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

• Review smile design and aesthetic principles
• Understand the case selection and the treatment planning for modern ceramics
• Outline digital workflows for diagnostic and preparation stages
• Hands on practice for a mock up driven preparation protocol with veneer preparations

Day 2- Agenda and Aims and Objectives

• Provisionalisation principles, and scanning/impression techniques
• Review the laboratory communication for shade and shape management
• Cementation of adhesive veneers
• Principles for modern crown preparations and indications eg dark discoloured teeth
• Material selection for full crowns
• Hands on preparation for full crown preparations
• Cementation principles with modern cements

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

CPD: 16 Hours

• Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments with accuracy and efficiency.
• Translate complex clinical findings into clear, understandable explanations for patients.
• Develop personalised treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs and expectations.
• Strengthen patient relationships through effective communication, empathy, and active listening.
• Navigate treatment discussions with confidence, ensuring suitability, accountability, and patient buy-in.

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 predictability, 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
