Due to the ris­ing demand for edu­ca­tion about adhe­sive den­tistry and the increas­ing area of indi­ca­tions, the course ​‘Pos­te­ri­or Ceram­ic Restora­tions’ will now become a 2‑day course. Dur­ing this course we’ll speak about ceram­ic restora­tions for sin­gle teeth in the ante­ri­or and pos­te­ri­or region, treat­ment of vital VS non-vital teeth and resin bond­ed ceram­ic bridges.

The clin­i­cal rel­e­vance for con­ven­tion­al crowns in both the ante­ri­or and pos­te­ri­or region will be dis­cussed. In mod­ern den­tistry we try to pre­serve a max­i­mum amount of tooth struc­ture. Con­ven­tion­al cemen­ta­tion is replaced by adhe­sion. Full con­tour zir­co­ni­um crowns and prepa­ra­tions are main­ly replaced by ceram­ic in-and onlays. What are the pre­ferred mate­ri­als for this restora­tions and why? How can we achieve and opti­mal iso­la­tion for our adhe­sion? What’s the cor­rect pre­treat­ment for both tooth and restora­tion to achieve a long last­ing restora­tion with long term clin­i­cal success?

In non-vital teeth the use of con­ven­tion­al build up and posts can be replaced with a dif­fer­ent type of restora­tion, name­ly the ​‘endocrown’.

The dif­fer­ent pro­ce­dures and treat­ment steps are explained the­o­ret­i­cal­ly, fol­lowed by a live patient treat­ment under micro­scope. This way the course becomes very interactive.
