A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain veneers offer our patients immediate aesthetic enhancement. Improvements to the colour, shape and alignment of teeth can be readily achieved using porcelain veneers. However, in order to achieve ideal results, the clinician must appropriately select cases and implement specific clinical protocols. Failure to properly treatment plan and execute tooth preparation, impression, temporization and cementation can result in catastrophic outcomes.
During the live webinar presentation, the advantages and disadvantages as well as indications and contraindications for porcelain veneers will be covered. A step by step, systematic approach to tooth preparation, impression, temporization and cementation will follow. A comprehensive aesthetic analysis as well as treatment planning principles required to achieve predictable outcomes will be discussed using numerous clinical examples.
The in-person hands-on will provide the general practitioner with key insights into achieving predictable and aesthetic outcomes with porcelain veneers. We will recap the didactic session giving course participants the opportunity to prepare, impress and temporize the maxillary anteriors on a typodont.
