Course Description - Afternoon Lecture - “Minimal Intervention, Maximal Outcomes”

Introduction

Minimally-invasive dentistry” is a hot topic in dentistry.  It’s very easy to talk about taking away less tooth structure, but it is more difficult to apply this concept to achieve predictable esthetic and functional results.  This course aims to give clinicians the tools needed to successfully and immediately expand the use of minimally-invasive dentistry in daily practice.

Course Objectives:

Understand and apply principles of smile design and analysis of proportions

Gain familiarity with several minimally-invasive direct and indirect restorative treatments, techniques and materials

Discuss caries detection and prevention strategies

Discuss non-rotary marginal refinement techniques for indirect restorations

Gain familiarity with orthodontic options, including treatment for periodontally compromised patients

Understand how to apply the protocol of combining orthodontics and restorative modalities for esthetic improvement while minimizing tooth reduction

Course includes continential breakfast and lunch
