The Dawson Academy Esthetic Foundations 1 - Restoring Anterior Teeth is organized by The Dawson Academy and will be held from Nov 29 - Dec 01, 2018 at Mid-Atlantic Center for Advanced Dental Study, Chesapeake, Virginia, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is General Dentists, Specialists, Lab Technicians. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 20 CE Credits.
Course Description :
This Dawson Academy continuing education esthetics course is a hands-on program that will assist the cosmetic dentist in taking those critical steps in accomplishing anterior restorative procedures at their highest level. Restoring anterior teeth and managing dental esthetics with predictability, truly represents the culmination of our understanding of how this intricate system is designed as we attempt to emulate what nature has originally created. Through the use of lecture, clinical videos, and hands-on exercises the restorative dentist will develop the confidence in diagnosis, material selection, preparation design and the creation of key indices to insure predictability in delivering exquisite anterior restorations.
The clinician will have the opportunity to transition the knowledge gained in the “2D” treatment planning mode into a “3D” dental blue print through the use of mounted diagnostic models and the minimal wax technique. The modulation and understanding of Smile Design in an advanced level of dental treatment planning affords the ability to begin with the end in mind, creating an esthetic result that reflects a functionally sound design and insures durability.
Conference Objectives are :
• Understand the key concepts of Smile Design relative to Global, Macro and Micro criteria and
their assessment related to function and phonetics.
• Develop the skill in creating a “Dental Blue” that will enable the production of key indices and
stents that will facilitate preparation and provisonalization.
• Understand the fluid concepts of preparation design as it relates to functional needs, esthetics
and the parameters of new materials.
• Learn an effective and efficient Provisionalization technique.
• Understand the key elements related to the assessment of the prototypes to insure predictability
in the final restorations.
• Learn the key elements in laboratory communication to insure a predictable result.
• Understanding the concepts of adhesion and the clinical protocol in the luting of final
restorations.
