When Restoration is Not Enough – Diagnosis, Function and Interdisciplinary Solutions for Complex Cases

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.
