Day 1 Diagnose Before You Restore
- Diagnosis for long-term restorative success – What should be checked before treatment starts: facial analysis, tooth position, occlusion, wear, function, muscles, joints, restorative space.
- Function & Occlusion – What really matters clinically and what can influence the long-term result of veneers, crowns and full-mouth rehabilitation.
- Worn Dentition – How to understand the reason behind tooth wear: bruxism, erosion, function, tooth position, etc.
- Bruxism & Restorative Risk – How to identify high-risk patients and what should change in treatment planning, materials, occlusion and follow-up.
- Botulinum Toxin in Bruxism Management – Where it can help, indications, limitations, patient selection and when referral is needed.
- This will be followed by a practical demonstration by the lecturer, covering muscle palpation, wear-pattern analysis, occlusal contacts, and CO–CR differences.
Day 2 Create the Right Conditions Before You Restore
- When Tooth Position Becomes a Restorative Problem – When tooth position leads to too much preparation, compromised aesthetics or unstable results.
- Creating Space for Restorative Treatment – Opening, closing or redistributing space before veneers, crowns or implants.
- Minimally Invasive Restorative Planning – How small changes in tooth position can help preserve enamel and reduce preparation.
- Interdisciplinary Treatment Sequencing – What should come first in complex cases: ortho, perio, implants, composites, ceramics
- Finishing for Long-Term Stability – Retention, occlusion, splints, bruxism management, maintenance and follow-up.
- Following by practical part of restorative treatment planning.
