Description
Build your very own restorative approach of composite veneers, having studied the most demanded techniques in modern aesthetic dentistry in this course:
– the matrix guided technique
– free-hand technique
– the flow injection technique
– monochromatic layering technique
– polychromatic layering technique
– single veneer and color matching.
First of all, patients evaluate the aesthetic result. This is exactly the course that will increase the patient's appreciation of your work!
Lesson 1.Color in aesthetics: the science and beauty behind direct composite veneer restorations
– The subjectivity factors of visual shade matching:
- observer
