Looking for some practical "pearls" about what works in adhesive and
esthetic dentistry? This course will provide real–world, time–proven
information on a variety of topics critical to consistent long–term success
in conservative esthetic dentistry. The course will begin with an evidence
based overview of adhesive dentistry focusing on what works and what
doesn't.
Are self–etch adhesives still the answer?
What is the best way to
eliminate sensitivity?
How can flowables make dentistry easier?
The course will also explore such issues as:
What about using new
chemotherapeutic agents for high risk patients?
Abfractions?
Conservative options for the patient with missing anterior teeth?
Fiber
reinforced perio splints?
This presentation will provide practical solutions
for addressing all of these areas. Dr. Heymann will outline step–by–step
procedures for achieving esthetic perio splints that will last, along with innovative approaches for all–porcelain bonded pontics.
Upon completion of this course, the participant will understand:
- How to select the correct dental adhesives
