         TO SEE optical properties and morphological structures of the remaining teeth
 

        TO UNDERSTAND, what kind of materials and techniques should be applied to mimic the                   optical properties and morphology of the tooth
 

        TO RECREATE dental morphology and aesthetics

        Course Program:

        9:00 – 11:00 Theory – topics:

• Morphology of anterior teeth
• Macro- and microstructures of anterior teeth
• Detecting anterior teeth color map and selecting materials
• Restoring techniques for anterior teeth

 
        11:00 – 11:30 Coffee break
 
        11:30 – 13:00 Practice: restoring anterior teeth #1
          Topics:

• Preparing “wax-up” and silicon guide in dental practice
• Staining and layering of composite using wax-up and without it
• Creating translucent incisal edge and halo effect 
• Creating macro and micro structure
• Polishing

 
        13:00 – 14:00 Lunch

 
        14:00 – 16:00 Practice: restoring anterior teeth #2

        16:00 – 16:30 Coffee break

        16:30 – 18:00 Theory & Practice: restoring posterior teeth #3
        Restoring posterior teeth using layering and “one shot” techniques.

          Topics:

• Morphology of posterior teeth
• Peculiarities of layering and staining
• Effective and quick way to restore the morphology of posterior teeth
