Overview
This course focuses on the management of heavily restored and structurally compromised teeth requiring indirect or semi-direct restorations.
We cover:
- Diagnosis of caries and fracture
- Retention versus resistance form in the adhesive era
- Defect-driven preparation design
- Indications for indirect vs semi-direct restorations
- Immediate dentine sealing and resin coating in indirect cases
- Deep margin elevation
- Biobase and core build-up strategies
- Ceramic versus composite material selection
- Laboratory communication
- Adhesive bonding and luting protocols
- Finishing and polishing
Delegates observe a live indirect onlay preparation followed by an Emax overlay fit.
Course Objectives
To advance delegates’ skills in managing complex biomimetic restorations, including restoring deep cracks and high C-factor areas, deep margin elevation techniques, and onlay and overlay preparation methods.
To offer practical experience through semi-direct techniques on patient models and live observation of onlay preparations and Emax overlay bonding, demonstrating real-world application of biomimetic principles.
To empower delegates with the confidence and competence to implement advanced biomimetic techniques in their own clinical practice.
