COURSE OBJECTIVES – LECTURE

Demystifying Cracked Tooth Syndrome
This presentation is designed to simplify the diagnosis and management of cracked teeth. Attendees will develop a clear framework for identifying cracked tooth syndrome, understanding when intervention is indicated, and selecting appropriate treatment modalities. The course will also critically evaluate the current evidence to clarify common controversies, including whether cracks should be chased and how treatment decisions impact long-term prognosis.

Contemporary Caries Management: An Evidence-Based Approach
This lecture provides a modern, evidence-driven perspective on caries diagnosis and management. It addresses widespread misconceptions in clinical practice and outlines what is and is not supported by the literature. Attendees will explore therapeutic options including remineralization strategies and pharmacologic interventions, while gaining clarity on when to monitor versus restore based on risk, lesion activity, and structural considerations.

Injection-Molded Composite Veneers: A Contemporary Framework
This presentation introduces a systematic approach to injection-molded composite veneers as a predictable and efficient alternative to both freehand composite techniques and 3D printed solutions. Emphasis is placed on case selection, workflow integration, and material considerations, providing clinicians with a practical framework to achieve esthetic, functional, and reproducible outcomes.

Ceramic Onlays: A Minimally Invasive Alternative to Crowns
This course explores ceramic onlays as a contemporary solution for restoring structurally compromised teeth while preserving remaining tooth structure. Attendees will gain insight into preparation design, adhesive protocols, material selection, and indications. The presentation emphasizes a biologically respectful approach to indirect restorations rooted in adhesive dentistry principles.

COURSE OBJECTIVES – HANDS ON PARTICIPATION

 Each hands on exercise will have a brief lecture first, followed by hands on.

 Injection-Molded Composite Veneers Workshop
Participants will gain practical experience in executing injection-molded composite veneer techniques. The course will guide clinicians through each step of the workflow, from planning and matrix fabrication to composite injection and finishing, enabling predictable and efficient delivery of direct esthetic restorations.

Ceramic Onlays Workshop
This hands-on course focuses on preparation design and execution for ceramic onlays. Participants will develop tactile proficiency in creating conservative, adhesive-driven preparations that optimize both mechanical performance and esthetic outcomes.

Deep Marginal Elevation Workshop
This workshop teaches clinicians how to manage subgingival margins through deep marginal elevation techniques. Participants will learn how to predictably elevate margins to a more accessible position, improving isolation, bonding, and restorative success in challenging cases.
