Presenters: Dr Michael Mandikos
This unique 4 part program has been designed to assist Final Year Students as well as new and recent graduates. Learn more about the four key techniques and materials that they will need to be proficient in to excel in private practice.
The topics will bridge the gap between what was taught in university and what is common practice in the real workplace. The course will have a mix of lecture content and hands-on.
Elevating Everyday Dentistry:Integrated Care, Hands‑On Skills,Real‑World Results
Course Overview
We have all experienced the situation. Patients will present with heavily worn down teeth, multiple missing teeth or they are simply seeking to improve their smile when their teeth are clearly in the wrong position due to agenesis or aplasia.
You may already be taking on complicated cases, or you may work in a rural region where there is no nearby specialist support, or perhaps you don’t wish to take on such cases, but you want to know more about what is involved and how it is done.
Learning Objectives
In this Workshop you will learn:
Concepts of treatment planning and record gathering, in order to arrive at a diagnosis and ideal treatment plan for the patient.?
How to perform a diagnostic mockup to communicate the case to your patient and to the laboratory.?
Tips and tricks that can make or break these cases.?
There will also be a pre-recorded video to demonstrate the process of an intra-oralmockup,followed by a hands-on exercise based on a real case presentation to allow the participants to learn how to perform a diagnostic mockup to how to properly assess a case and to present it to their patient.?

COURSE OVERVIEW
The question often heard from Dentists during cementation procedures is “am I doing it right”?
The truth is, there are so many options available for dentine bonding and cements today, and so many associated “hints and tips” to get the best clinical outcomes, that it can become quite confusing, and some clinicians may even find themselves using the wrong application technique for their product. The result can be poor bond strengths or post-operative sensitivity issues, both of which will ruin the clinical case.
In this, one-day lecture and workshop program, Dr Mandikos will cover the relevant theory of dentine bonding and cementation, to ensure attendees understand how bonding works, how the different cements work, and what each of the different systems available actually does. He will demystify cementation protocols and bust a few “Urban Myths” along the way.
This is a program designed to clarify the steps required to adhesively cement crowns, veneers, inlays and posts.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
What you will learn:
• A review of the different bonding systems, including metal and ceramic primers
• A review of the different cement technologies – Simple and Multi-step systems
• Evidence based techniques – “How to bond properly !!”
• When to use silanes and metal primers
• The role of the new Universal Adhesives - are they the future?
• Which cement to use for which clinical case
We have all experienced the situation. Patients will present with heavily worn down teeth, multiple missing teeth or they are simply seeking to improve their smile when their teeth are clearly in the wrong position due to agenesis or aplasia.
You may already be taking on complicated cases, or you may work in a rural region where there is no nearby specialist support, or perhaps you don’t wish to take on such cases, but you want to know more about what is involved and how it is done.
In this 1-day program, Michael will explain how we treat the complex case. He will cover how to treatment plan and sequence such cases, and discuss when to call in a multidisciplinary approach or when to possibly do it yourself.
In this workshop you will learn:
– Concepts of treatment planning and record gathering, in order to arrive at a diagnosis and ideal treatment plan for the patient.
– How to perform a diagnostic mock-up to communicate the case to your patient and to the laboratory.
– Tips and tricks that can make or break these cases.
There will also be a live patient demonstration and a hands-on exercise, for participants to learn how to perform a diagnostic mock-up, as well as how to properly assess a case and present it to their patient.
