12:00 PM LUNCH
1:00 - Full Lecture 1 - Dr. Gerard Kugel's Esthetic Dentistry: Materials & Techniques
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 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 and cementation for indirect anterior and posterior restorations: What to do and when to use them. Digital impression making and 3D Printing Advances in adhesive and bioactive dentistry. Are the new generations all they are claimed to be? You will get practical and cost effective information that you can use immediately in your practice.
Learning Objectives: Learn the limitations of materials and what the best options are for different clinical situations. Understand the importance of understanding cementation as it relates to the choice of materials. Review the evidence as it related to new bonding systems and bioactive materials. Discover how 3D printing can be used in your practice.
