The course
OBIETTIVI
The aesthetic evaluation of the patient must always be the starting point of a clinical study even in functional cases.
Therefore the prosthesis must be seen as the final objective of a more or less long and complex therapeutic path, composed by different materials but with the single purpose of giving the patient an appropriate aesthetics and function. At the same time, the objective of professionals is increasingly the simplification of the work process, or, on one hand reducing the time in the chair, which means reducing the general costs of the therapy, on the other hand giving the possibility to all clinicians, even with little experience, to be able to complete even complex cases. The course will also involve analog clinicians and dental technicians, through sharing of methods, materials and techniques aimed to demonstrate digital processes as an alternative and as preparatory work tools to achieve the creation of an adequate aesthetic and functional prosthesis.
WHO IS IT FOR:
- Clinicians who wants to acquire a simplified prosthesis protocol, effective on both natural teeth and implants
- And to their dental technicians who wants to acquire the most modern analog-digital prosthesis management methods, from wax-up diagnostis to the creation of simple and complex prosthesis products.
SCHEDULE
The course is divided in 4 meetings of 3 days each; at every meeting there is a practical session during which all trainees will have to apply their work processes shown during the course by the speaker in front seat or Live with the patient.
ABSTRACT
The topic of this course is dedicated to prosthesis dentistry on natural teeth and implants.
This course has the fundamental objective of comparing the two paths of prosthesis dentistry: the traditional one with the digital one, giving the possibility to customize your own workflow by selecting the most suitable path that best suits your habits and organization .
- Frontal activity: all the concepts and protocols necessary to plan and implement prosthesis cases will be analysed,
- Live activity: the speaker will show the techniques applied to a real case,
- Practical activity: each participant will have the opportunity to apply the various protocols directly on the simulator.
- Presentation of the case: in the 4th meeting each participant will show a case.
During these various meetings will be evaluated the main prosthesis therapies and their planning, passing from the creation of simple cases to the management of complex cases.
The digital and analogical paths will be compared by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the two different approaches.
Each prosthesis treatment operated during live activities will have two functional and aesthetical purposes but always with biological respect for soft tissues and dental tissues.
A JOURNEY TOGETHER
Between one meeting and another it will be possible to communicate with the speakers at any time by sharing with the whole group of participants through a common platform, their doubts, questions, or inconveniences that may arise during the application of the protocols learned during the conduct of the various meetings. Our goal is to fully share our work protocols to all participants, so that they themselves are able to apply during their daily practice.
