This course focuses on the benefits and step-by-step techniques of transitional bonding, an extremely practical new option requiring little or no prep for most cases. This course will cover the rationale for using composite. Work on one tooth against an arch or plan for a full mouth rehabilitation.

This hands-on course presents practical occlusal guidelines for predictable function and longevity – including increasing V.D.O. and building anterior guidance as well as how to handle bruxers and non-compliant patients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Conserve enamel – accomplish smile makeovers and major occlusal changes with virtually NO tooth reduction.
• Diagnose, treatment plan and restore a complex case with composite – the course includes a very effective hands-on to treat a common problem: worn teeth.
• Understand tooth topography to create the most natural look.
• Conduct treatment planning using a practical system that quickly determines the ‘best smile possible for each patient. Rebuild incisal and canine guidance and open vertical dimension to create a great esthetic result with ideal occlusion.
• Take home a comprehensive 15-page handout with live patient photographs and an esthetic zone ratio worksheet to guide you step-by-step for every patient that walks through your door – you’ll be amazed by how many patients can benefit from this type of dentistry.
• This superb handout gives you a tool to analyze patients’ smiles and also serves as a communication tool for enhanced patient acceptance.
