Module 1 - 6th August 2020 - 8th August 2020
Module 2 - 17th September 2020 - 19th September 2020
Module 3 - 12th November 2020 - 14th November 2020
Presenters: Dr Michael Mandikos and Dr Tony Rotondo
Join Michael for this five day conference on achieving excellence in restorative dentistry.
The conference will focus on topics relating to direct and indirect restorations with an emphasis on case selection and adhesive procedures for each. Michael will present the hints, tips and techniques used by specialists to achieve the best possible outcomes. All this in the idyllic surrounds of picturesque Kastellorizo, the gem of the Mediterranean.
NEW TO IMPLANTS?
There are many choices for implant courses today, with some designed as hotel-based short courses, whilst others are university based and involve longer periods and some form of certification. There are also many different implant systems on the market today, and the array of implants, types of abutments, associated CAD-CAM systems, and the various claims for superiority by different companies can make the field of implantology seem bewildering.
If you are looking for a place to start your implant training and become familiar with the processes to allow you to plan and restore dental implants, then this program is for you.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
• Caseselection
• Introduction to various implant systems and
components (See and feel the components of various implant systems)
• Surgicalguidesandworkingwithasurgeon • Impressions for Dental Implants
• Provisional restorations
• Insertion and delivery of the case
This course will address the main causes of postoperative sensitivity with posterior composites, and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it occurring. This will include a discussion on cavity design and restorative material placement as well as the role of self-etching dentine bonding systems, glass ionomers and flowable resins.
During hands-on exercises, participants will have the opportunity to practice composite placement in typodont teeth using the materials and techniques discussed.
Beginning with a lecture covering the relevant physical properties required of composites to be used for restoring anterior teeth, this
one-day course explores the concepts of colour as they relate to tooth shade selection. As there are presently so many options on the
market, the importance of opacity/translucency as distinct from colour alone will be explained to assist participants in selecting composite systems for use in their own practices.
Finally, the multi-layered approach to restoring anterior teeth using varying opacitie of composites will be demonstrated together with simplified techniques for build-up, finishing and polishing.
The practical exercises in this course will give participants the opportunity to restore typodont teeth utilising a multi-shaded, aesthetic composite system and the layering techniques presented in the lecture.
At the completion of the course, attendees should have a greater understanding of the newer composite technologies available to achieve excellent aesthetic and functional results when restoring anterior teeth.
Specifically, the course is designed to teach the finer points of some common restorative procedures:
- Tips for predictable Anterior and Posterior composites
- Crown preparations
- Impression techniques
- Which materials, instruments and burs are indispensable and worth buying
- Treatment Planning basics and how to present the plans to patients
