Modern Indirect Restorative Protocols: Adhesion, Precision and Function
Modern Indirect Restorative Protocols: Adhesion, Precision and Function
Course overview
All the advanced innovations, protocols, and key trends in modern restorative dentistry in one course!
You will learn a practical, oriented approach to minimal invasiveness and gentle handling of hard and soft tissues, biocompatibility, enhanced adhesive protocols, and ensuring patient comfort.
Renowned speakers Marco Maiolino, Andrea Fabianelli, and Alex Rugina will share exclusive insights from their areas of expertise:
Vertical preparation and zirconia restorations
Step-by-step protocol for working with partial ceramic restorations: palatal and buccal veneers, onlays, and inlays
The latest trends in adhesive luting workflows for indirect restorations
Full-mouth rehabilitation: step-by-step protocols.
- Apply minimally invasive vertical preparation principles for zirconia and partial ceramic restorations.
- Select adhesive protocols for predictable bonding of inlays, onlays, veneers, and overlays.
- Analyze static and dynamic occlusion to inform full‑mouth rehabilitation planning and functional outcomes.
- Integrate prosthetic design and biomechanical considerations to optimize long‑term indirect restoration performance.
