Everything you wanted to know about bridgework and more with Michael Mandikos!

This course is designed to raise the awareness of the clinician to the possibilities of bridgework as a viable, predictable and long-term alternative to dental implants. Conventional, cantilever and bonded designs will be covered, together with many clinical case examples.

Hosted by Endodontic Group.

An educational forum for recent dental graduates and referring general dentists.

Anterior and Posterior Composites - Perfecting your technique

This jam packed program will discuss Porcelain Veneers in detail. The focus will be on:

• The theory of how they work
• Which porcelian system to choose for each situation
• Preparations for incisors, premolars and molars
• Limitations (How dark is too dark to mask?)
• Temporisation
• Cementation

Perfect Posterior Compsites

This course will address the main causes of post operative sensitivity with posterior composites and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it occuring.
