Program Description:

Building exceptional and prosthetic and aesthetic dental restorations requires a solid technical foundation, disciplined planning expertise of materials, and keen practical application. Expertise fundamentally begins with a thorough understanding of the academics and the underlying principles of technical dentistry. Accurate communication and documentation between dentist and laboratory is vital for proper case planning and sequencing.

The first half of the course is dedicated to learning how to build an accurate blueprint of casework that will lead to successful results. In the second half of this course science and art converge with "hands-on" education. You will learn the latest advancements in ceramic materials, preparation and application techniques by the leading authorities in the field.

Program Size:
Due to the "hands-on" nature of the program, class size is limited.

Is there course certification?
Upon satisfactory completion of this program, the Linhart Continuing Dental Education Program at New York University College of Dentistry awards a "Certificate of Achievement". To qualify, participants must achieve at least a 95% attendance record in both laboratory and lecture sessions over the ten-month program.
