Description
Deepen your understanding of dental aesthetics, tooth anatomy, and morphology with carving techniques in a course designed for you to Watch, Practice, and Master!
Kyriakos Drivas is an instructor in veneering materials and an expert in all-ceramic systems, with 30 years of experience as a dental technician.
During the course, you will learn about:
– Protocols for carving anterior and posterior teeth of the upper and lower jaw
– Tips and tricks for achieving natural-like tooth morphology
– Solutions to all the nuances of aesthetics, occlusion, functionality, and biology for predictable indirect restorations.
This course is for all specialists interested in learning and perfecting the carving of dental anatomy and morphology, including dental technicians, prosthodontists, restorative dentists, and dental students.
Lesson 1.Achieving Natural Aesthetics in Upper Anterior Teeth
– Analysis of the central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine:
- Individual characteristics and their contribution to the smile
- Proportions and positioning in relation to facial aesthetics.
– Tips for achieving a natural result:
- Key elements that enhance realism in restorations.
– Observing natural patterns:
- Understanding natural tooth morphology
- Identifying common variations and applying them in practice.
Recommended for: Prosthodontists, Dental technicians.
Lesson 2.Carving the Anatomical Functionality of Upper Anterior Teeth
– The architectural relationship between anterior teeth:
- How central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines interact
- Balancing width, height, and contour for harmony
– The role of anterior teeth in functionality:
- Importance in phonetics and occlusion
- Impact on overall dental health and longevity of restorations.
– Avoiding absolute symmetry to achieve harmony:
- The concept of natural asymmetry in aesthetics
- Techniques to create a lifelike and pleasing smile.
Recommended for: Prosthodontists, Dental technicians.
Lesson 3.Designing Aesthetic Harmony in Mandibular Anterior Teeth

Lesson 7.Posterior Occlusion in the Mandible: Anatomy and Functional Dynamics
– Analysis of the 1st and 2nd premolars, 1st and 2nd molars in the lower jaw
– Evaluation and understanding of planes and curves in mandibular occlusion
– The role of mandibular teeth in occlusion and functional dynamics.
Recommended for: Prosthodontists, Dental technicians.
Lesson 8.Contact Point and Posterior Occlusion in the Mandible
