Description:
For the first time in his career, Dr. John Cranham, in partnership with The Center at Dental Ceramics, is leading a live patient, hands-on course. Participants will have the opportunity to bring a patient, and a team member to plan, prepare, and deliver an aesthetic reconstruction at The Center’s incredible facility outside of Cleveland, Ohio. This two-session, five-day course will solidify their confidence to deliver high end esthetic dentistry, with mild to moderate occlusal complexity. Participants will learn to create optimal occlusal/labial contours and do so while utilizing exclusively digital workflows. Through pre-course online training, lecture, hands-on exercises and live patient experience, each of the 12 participants will learn not only from their own case, but from the other 11 being completed. Live patient education is your best opportunity to challenge yourself, experience incredible growth, and take your practice to the next level. 

Learning Objectives:
• Solidify your understanding of aesthetic & occlusal goals, and how to best apply them to any complex cosmetic/esthetic case.
• How to use online communication to work with a qualified dental laboratory to harness the power of virtual articulation and digital planning/design and why this is a game changer.How to scan for a variety of treatment positions, and to               choose  the appropriate one for your patient.
• How to know when to open the vertical dimension, and how it can be done conservatively.
• How to prepare teeth for a variety of esthetic restorations, crowns, veneers, mini-crowns.

• Direct and 3D printed techniques for provisional restorations, and when each should be considered.
• Laboratory communication tools, so the lab has all the information they need to create an ideal incisal edge, esthetic contours, lingual/occlusal contours (for optimal function) and shade (chroma, hue, value, characterization).
• An efficient adhesive/cementation and case finishing technique.
• How to dial in the final occlusal result.
