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.
