Course Description: Over the last decade, dentistry has largely shifted away from metal and metalbased restorations to resins and monolithic ceramics. When used properly, these newer materials can perform just as well as our classic “gold standards”. However, many of our traditional clinical practices need to be updated if we are to achieve optimal patient outcomes with modern workflows and materials. Only then can we successfully transition out of the “Metal Era” and into the “Adhesive Era” of today.
As an independent dental practice owner, keeping up with constantly evolving materials and technologies is always a challenge. This course is designed to get you and your team up-to-date and stay competitive with everything restorative.
Course Objectives:
- Review the current evidence base for direct and indirect adhesive dentistry.
- Explore the development of resins and ceramics differences, advantages and disadvantages.
- Discuss minimally invasive preparations, including onlays and occlusal overlays.
- Establish best practices for the predictable and efficient management of resins and ceramics from preparations to delivery.
- Empower the entire dental team to provide state of the art, conservative adhesive dentistry
- Examine the positive impact of incorporating modern materials and technologies on the profitability of an independently owned practice
