Nowa­days clin­i­cians are more and more focused on treat­ing patients with min­i­mal­ly inva­sive den­tistry. Thanks to devel­op­ments in mate­ri­als and adhe­sive tech­niques, we can cre­ate durable and aes­thet­ic restora­tions with min­i­mal tis­sue removal. We start by plan­ning the restora­tions. This involves an exten­sive dis­cus­sion of Dig­i­tal Smile Design (DSD) in com­bi­na­tion with a mock-up, which allows us to dis­cuss the expect­ed end result with the patient pri­or to prepa­ra­tion, ensur­ing we meet the patien­t’s expec­ta­tions. Dur­ing the course, we cov­er the cor­rect indi­ca­tions, prepa­ra­tion and the use of imme­di­ate dentin seal­ing (IDS) for veneers in detail. How do we take impres­sions of these fac­ings after prepa­ra­tion and what infor­ma­tion must we pass on to our den­tal tech­ni­cian for fab­ri­cat­ing the veneers? Tem­po­rary restora­tions are fab­ri­cat­ed and fin­ished while await­ing the final veneers. Each step is explained the­o­ret­i­cal­ly, fol­lowed by a live patient treat­ment in which an exten­sive veneer case is treat­ed under a microscope.

Remov­ing the tem­po­rary restora­tion is not always easy. How do we pro­ceed? After removal it’s essen­tial that the prepa­ra­tions in the mouth are cleaned cor­rect­ly so that we can per­form a try in of the veneers. Which type of ​‘cement’ do we pre­fer for the lut­ing pro­ce­dure and why? After the fit­ting, the fac­ings must be final­ly pre­pared. The prepa­ra­tions in the mouth must also be cor­rect­ly iso­lat­ed and pre­pared for the adhe­sive bond­ing. Adhe­sive bond­ing requires a great deal of dis­ci­pline that must be strict­ly fol­lowed to achieve a durable and pre­dictable result. These pro­ce­dures are then showed clin­i­cal­ly dur­ing a live patient treat­ment in which an exten­sive veneer cemen­ta­tion case is treat­ed under a micro­scope. This 2 day course goes into detail on every aspect of veneer treat­ment from start to fin­ish, both the­o­ret­i­cal­ly and clinically.
