COURSE OVERVIEW:

Building exceptional 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 theleading authorities in the field.
