Next‑Level Aesthetic Restorative Treatment: Protocols from Japanese Dental School Masters
Next‑Level Aesthetic Restorative Treatment: Protocols from Japanese Dental School Masters
Course overview
You will be presented with protocols, treatment approaches, years of clinical experience and the magical touch of Japanese dentistry!
Kazunobu Yamada, Kazunori Ohtani, Yuichiro Yoshiki and Kenji Iwaki — renowned lecturers and representatives of the Japanese school of dentistry — will guide you through an intensive journey into the world of modern aesthetic dentistry.
You will learn in detail about:
Dento-facial aesthetic analysis and its application in clinical practice
A new concept of preparation for veneers based on tooth morphology and the future restoration using feldspathic ceramics and e.Max
Aesthetic restoration of the anterior tooth group using zirconia materials FCZ and PFZ
Selection of material for the future prosthetic construction: a patient-centered approach
Design of complete removable dentures and treatment protocols.
- Perform dento-facial aesthetic analysis to inform material selection and restorative planning.
- Design minimally invasive veneer preparations oriented to future restoration morphology and navigation guides.
- Select and sequence restorative materials and protocols for anterior aesthetics, including feldspathic, e.Max, and zirconia.
- Plan complete removable prosthodontic workflows establishing occlusal plane and accurate intermaxillary relationships.
