Description
The evolution of composite materials together with adhesive techniques are meeting the requests of patients, who asking for less invasive therapies combined with highly aesthetic results in posterior and anterior severe worn dentition. The range of restorative options, is getting wider, thanks to composite that can adequately respond to mechanical stress, offering natural aesthetics and an effective adhesion when treated with specific protocols.
The main goal of this webinar is to provide a protocol to diagnose and treat severe worn dentition through a new no prep approach increasing the VDO: “The Index Technique”. The webinar will also focus on when and how to bond on worn dentition, additive partial indirect restorations in composite and/or ceramic, depending on the indication. All the step-by-step protocols will be addressed through images and videos in order to have a clear overview of this technique through an analog and digital workflow. Financial costs and sessions for the patient are also very low compared to conventional prosthodontics.
This training combines various topics of direct and indirect restorations, functional dentistry and a digital approach!
