Modern indirect restoration: adhesive protocols, minimally invasive preparation, and functional occlusion

Advanced innovations, protocols, and key trends in modern restorative dentistry — all in one course!

You will learn a practice-oriented approach to minimally invasive techniques, with careful preservation of hard and soft tissues, the use of biocompatible materials, and a focus on maximum patient comfort.

Marco Maiolino, Andrea Fabianelli, and Alex Rugina share unique insights from their areas of expertise:

— Vertical preparation and zirconia restorations
— Step-by-step protocols for partial ceramic restorations: palatal and buccal veneers, onlays, and inlays
— Latest trends in adhesive cementation of indirect restorations
— Full-mouth rehabilitation: step-by-step protocols
