Course Description
This intensive two-day hands-on course is designed for clinicians who wish to refine their adhesive and indirect restorative skills under magnification. Through a combination of focused lectures and extensive practical exercises, participants will master modern approaches to building a strong and predictable biobase, performing precision preparations for non-retentive restorations, and applying thermo-modified luting protocols for optimal bonding of indirect ceramics.
Working under the microscope, each participant will gain a deep understanding of adhesive control, precision finishing, and clinical protocols to enhance both function and aesthetics.
Key Learning Points
- Biobase and Deep Margin Elevation (DME):
- Understand the principles of creating a stable biobase through IDS (Immediate Dentin Sealing) and resin coating.
- Learn how to manage deep margins and elevate them predictably under magnification.
- Preparation Techniques for Non-Retentive Restorations:
- Step-by-step preparation protocols for inlays, onlays, overlays, and vonlays.
- How to preserve tooth structure while ensuring ideal geometry for adhesive restorations.
- Thermo-Modified Luting of Indirect Ceramics:
- Principles and advantages of thermo-assisted adhesive luting.
- Clinical sequence, troubleshooting, and finishing for long-term success.
Course Details
- Duration: 2 Days
- Participants: 15 delegates (individual workstation & microscope)
- Time: 08:30 – 17:00 each day
- Format: Lecture + Hands-on sessions under the microscope
