Achieving Predictable Esthetic Results

This two-and-a-half-day lecture will provide dentists with the knowledge to perform contemporary restorative procedures at the highest level. It will be given by Peter E. Dawson, D.D.S.; John C. Cranham, D.D.S.; and Glenn E. DuPont, D.D.S. Each student will leave the lecture with a clear understanding of the four options of treatment: reshaping, repositioning, restoring, and surgical alternatives. Preliminary mouth preparation, such as necessary periodontal procedures and occlusal equilibration, will be covered in detail. Necessary soft-tissue surgical procedures that will provide an ideal gingival backdrop will also be presented. Tooth preparation for crowns and veneers will be covered as well. Soft-tissue management in conjunction with final impressioning techniques will be discussed in detail. Provisional restorations, bite registration techniques, laboratory communication and cementation/adhesive options will be a cornerstone of this presentation.
