Course Overview
In the last 40 years, dentistry has benefited from many advances in adhesives, composites, and ceramics that have allowed the profession to transition from a mechanical restorative goal to a biological one. These materials provide clinicians with the ability to restore teeth in a minimally invasive manner that closely resembles their original biomechanical function. Unfortunately, these materials are not often used to their full potential and are employed with only slight variations to more invasive traditional preparation designs.
Why Choose Non-Retentive Partial Coverage Ceramics? These restorations conserve more tooth structure, work in harmony with the natural biomechanics of the tooth, help extend the restorative life cycle of the tooth, and maximize the fracture resistance of ceramic materials. In this course, Dr. Schiffenhaus will review advanced adhesive techniques, material science, biomechanics, diagnosis, and preparation design related to Biomimetic and Advanced Adhesive Restorative Dentistry.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the BAARD Approach to Restorative Dentistry
- Learn advantages of the Biomimetic Approach to Material Science & Restorative Design
- Learn why teeth crack and how to treat them with adhesive partial coverage ceramics
- Gain insight into diagnosis and treatment planning for BAARD partial coverage ceramics
- Learn ceramic preparation fundamentals & the BAARD Overlay & Onlay Preparation Protocol (Hands-On Training)
- Understand the advantages of non-retentive partial coverage ceramics in regards to fracture resistance, bondability, and pulp health following restorative treatment
- Execute variations of the ideal BAARD Overlay & Onlay preparations (Hands-On Training)
- Understand the fundamentals & advantages of Immediate Dentin Sealing with Resin Coating (Hands-On Training)
- Learn how to make temporaries for non-retentive partial coverage restorations
- Learn how to adhesively lute to IDS treated teeth with both Resin Cement (Hands-On Training) & Warm Composite Cementation
- Learn the factors that affect post-operative Pulp Health & how to diagnose causes of post-operative sensitivity, pain to cold, & pain to biting, and how to treat
