Worn Dentition

Direct & Indirect Adhesive Management Through a Non-Invasive Approach
The main goal of this course is to provide, indications and protocols to diagnose and treat severe worn dentition through a new no prep approach increasing the VDO: “The Index technique”. The course will also focus on when and how to bond on worn dentition, additive partial indirect restorations (onlays/overlays) in composite and/or ceramic, depending on the indication.
All the step by step protocols will be addressed through step by step images and videos on patients, in order to have a clear over view of this hybrid (direct-indirect) technique through an analog and digital workflow.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
– How to diagnose worn dentition (corrosion; attrition; abrasion; abfraction).
– Opening the VDO and planning the treatment plan
– The indications and protocols for a no prep direct adhesive approach: “The Index Technique”.
– The indications & protocols for a minimal invasive indirect adhesive approach through composite and/or ceramic onlays/overlays.
Course Program
1. How to diagnose worn dentition (erosion, attrition abrasion and abfraction)
2. Esthetic and functional analysis
3. How to increase the VDO and perform the “restorative” wax-up (with video projection on patients)
4. How to perform the transparent index on the “restorative” wax-up (with video projection on patients)
5. Anterior and posterior mock-ups (temporary phase), for esthetics phonetics and function (with video projection on patients
6. Adhesion strategies on worn dentition (with video projection on patients)
7. The indications and protocols, on posterior teeth, for a no prep direct adhesive copy-paste approach: “The Index Technique” (with video projection on patients)
8. The indications and protocols, on anterior teeth, for a no prep direct adhesive copy-paste approach: “The Index Technique” (with video projection on patients)
9. The indications and protocols for indirect adhesive approach through composite and ceramic onlays (with video projection on patients)
10. All the possible errors that may arise (with video projection on patients)
11. Hands-on: 1) how to perform the transparent index on the restorative wax-up. How to perform a mock-up 2) How to perform a composite copy-paste restorative approach on worn dentition
