Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Course

Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Course is organized by Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy (IDEA) and will be held from Sep 09 - 12, 2026 at IDEA - Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy, Foster City, California, United States of America.

Description:
This porcelain veneers and crowns course is designed for all dentists wanting to refine their prosthetic workflows to enhance the outcomes of their esthetic prosthetic restorations. By following precise tooth preparation and prosthetic protocols, the accuracy of restorations is significantly improved and ultimately leading to more predictable and long-term stable treatment outcomes.

Dentists will upgrade their clinical skills and refine all their treatment steps in this porcelain veneers and crowns course on the essentials of prosthetic treatment and the restorative principles which are based on focusing on the variations of tooth related preparation design, material decision, and adhesive techniques.

Learning Objectives:

• Master all relevant clinical protocols for functional-esthetic prosthetic restorations
• Increase the accuracy of preparation techniques for veneers, crowns, and overlays
• Understand the critical restorative details in impression taking for analog and digital workflows
• Provisional phase, different approaches based on tooth structure; managing tissues and controlling occlusal height
• Adhesive cementation protocols to develop competence in reliable adhesive procedures for minimizing risk of restorative complications
• Excel in the latest, evidence-based concepts for optimizing tooth preparation and related treatment steps

Course Content and Clinical Skills Hands-on Training:

• Strengthen lab collaboration through prosthetically ideal preparation geometry
• Enhance prosthetic fit and esthetic outcomes through accurate preparation protocols
• Reduce complications through improved preparation design and margin control
• Understand preparation protocols targeted to different restorative materials and tooth location
• Tooth preparation principles, biological requirements, and margin design
• Digital and analog methods for treatment planning and impressions
• Magnification choices using loups and microscope
• Preparation specifics to tooth morphology
• Instrumentation, specific designs of dental burs, reduction control, indexing
• Specific requirements for anterior teeth, esthetic considerations, smile line
• Requirements for molars specific to tooth location and material selection
• Specific requirements for porcelain veneers, step-by-step protocols
• The adhesive overlay, preparation rules for vital and non-vital teeth
• Soft tissue handling before, during and after preparation
• Immediate dentin sealing and deep margin elevation
• Critical aspects of the provisional phase and control of vertical height
• Adhesive cementation, step-by-step protocols for teeth and restorations; isolation,
• Continuity of dental arches, reference line, and occlusal curvature
• Occlusal rehabilitation using implants in the molar regions of both arches
• Increase confidence managing complex anterior, posterior, interdisciplinary cases
• Elevate longevity and predictability of your Veneers, Crowns, and Adhesive Restorations

You Will Learn:
Master the Art of Tooth Preparation
