Our 4-day program is spread over two weekends and its focus is comprehensive aesthetic and restorative care. Through our lecture series, participating doctors will gain the advanced knowledge necessary to complete the most challenging cases. The clinical portion of our program allows our participants to work together with our faculty on a wide range of cases including anterior veneers and cases requiring veneers, bridgework, and all-ceramic restorations.

Participants will learn how to treatment plan, present, and complete these aesthetic and restorative cases and also learn to communicate more effectively with both the patient and the laboratory to obtain a more predictable aesthetic result. They will develop the skills needed to perform these cases at the highest level with increased confidence. We will have lectures on:

  • Preparation Techniques & Principles of Smile Design
  • Temporization Chairside
  • Review of Material Selection
  • Patient Management
  • Occlusion for Function
  • Efficient Cementation Techniques
  • Periodontics and Aesthetics
  • Combination Cases Involving Implants
  • Patient and Laboratory Communication for a More Predictable Result
  • Marketing and Practice Management

Our program may be taken two ways: you may choose the hands on experience and bring your patient or you may choose to attend our course as an observer, without a patient, where you will observe over the shoulder up to 15 cases being treated from start to finish. It has been shown that the graduates of our long-running aesthetic/restorative programs have seen their practices grow and flourish even in these challenging economic times. Let us infuse your practice with the excitement, energy, and the necessary skills to become more confident and passionate about the practice of dentistry, setting yourself apart from others in your field!

A Systamatic Approach to Full Mouth Reconstruction | New York, NY

Aesthetic-Dentistry

 

 

 

 

 

Restoration of the severely worn dentition is one of the most challenging procedures in dentistry. In order to successfully restore and maintain the teeth, one must gain insight into how the teeth arrived at this state of destruction. Tooth wear can result from abrasion, attrition, and erosion. Research has shown that these wear mechanisms rarely act alone and there is nearly always a combination of the processes. Evaluation and diagnosis should account for the patient’s diet, history of eating and/or gastric disorders, along with the present state of the occlusion. Emphasis must be placed on the evaluation of occlusal prematurities preventing condylar seating into the centric relation position. Behavioral factors that may contribute to parafunctional habits and/or nocturnal bruxism are also important to understand and manage in order to successfully restore and maintain a healthier dentition. Once a complete understanding of the etiology of the dentition’s present state is appreciated, a treatment plan can be formulated, taking into account the number of teeth to be treated, condylar position, space availability, the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), and the choice of restorative material.

While all occlusions wear to some degree over the lifetime of the patient, normal physiological wear usually does not require correction. Severe or excessive wear refers to tooth destruction that requires restorative intervention. Severe attritional wear can result from occlusal prematurities that prevent functional or parafunctional movements of the jaw. This wear can be seen at the site of the prematurity or on the anterior teeth as a result of the “hit and slide” forward. Restoration of the worn anterior teeth then becomes a challenge as space availability for prosthetics becomes limited. If lengthening the teeth is a goal in order to achieve a more aesthetic smile, then the question of the need to alter VDO subsequently arises.
