Understanding the value of GOLD as a restorative option with industry leader, Dr Randy Allan DMD
Designed for everyday work, in this seminar Dr Mandikos will clear up your confusions on the most commonly missing tooth - the lateral incisor. The lateral incisor is one of those teeth that presents a challenge - easy to replace, difficult to replace well. Overcome your fears and be guided by one of the best in the business.
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.
Simplified or multi-step techniques for perfect outcomes
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.
Calling all dentists in the Mackay district ! Don't miss this opportunity to hear Dr Michael Mandikos live in person. He will provide an overview of modern occlusal schemes used to restore single teeth, multiple teeth and full mouth cases, including treatment for edentulous patients.
Learning objectives
To appreciate and understand the role of tooth autotransplantation for addressing various clinical dilemmas, particularly in growing patients
To appreciate and understand the interdisciplinary perspectives (i.e., endodontic, orthodontic, surgical and prosthodontic) pertaining to tooth autotransplantation
To appreciate and understand how 3D radiology and 3D printing can improve the potential application and predictability for tooth autotransplantation
To appreciate and understand the relevant costs, risks, benefits of tooth autotransplantation and how to manage sub-optimal clinical outcomes
Join us for ADAQ’s Annual Clinic Day 2025—an essential event for dental professionals looking to stay at the forefront of industry advancements.
Achieving excellent aesthetic and functional results when restoring anterior teeth.
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 practices.
Finally, the multi-layered approach to restoring anterior teeth using varying opacity of composites will be demonstrated together with simplified techniques for build-up, finishing and polishing.
The practical exercises in this course will allow participants to restore typodont teeth utilising a multi-shaded, aesthetic composite system and the layering techniques presented in the lecture.
After 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.
Direct techniques for minimising sensitivity and obtaining perfect contacts
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 from 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.
