London Posterior Masterclass 26-28 April 2024

Starts on Fri Apr 26, 2024

This 3 Day full immersion course has been refined and improved upon as a result of feedback from delegates over the last 5 years.
It became obvious that we needed to add a third day to allow practicals on impression taking, fabricating beautiful provisionals and the bonding of definitive restorations under rubber dam.
We believe that this is the most comprehensive Posterior Prep Course in the UK.

Modern adhesive dentistry has allowed us to use far more conservative tooth preparation for indirect restorations.
We can now utilise the principles of enamel/dentine bonding to restore posterior teeth with ceramic or composite onlays/overlays, thus preserving precious tooth structure.

In this three-day hands on course delegates will learn:

1. The principles of bonding composite/porcelain to enamel and dentine.

2. The different available materials ie. Gold, composite and emax and the key advantages of
each

3. The difference between inlays, onlays and overlays and when to use them.

4. When to keep a cusp vs when to reduce it and use cuspal coverage.

5. How to assess and deal with cracks in posterior teeth.

6. When to switch from overlays to full coverage crowns.

7. Occlusal assessment and consideration when restoring posterior teeth.

8. The use of trial equilibration to help plan cases.

9. Hands on preparation of molar teeth for 4 onlays/overlays and 4 full coverage crowns

10. Immediate dentine sealing

11. Restoration of the endodontically treated premolar/molar

12. Fibre-posts vs endocrowns

13. Hands-on impression taking

14. Hands-on provisionalisation of full coverage crowns

.15. Hands-on isolation and bonding of at least 3 overlays under rubber dam.

16. Hands-on finishing and polishing protocol.
