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.
