Online training in aesthetic dentistry by recognized experts in the field: Klaus Müterthies, Edris Rasta, and Maurizio De Stefano!

The course is entirely based on the doctors’ many years of clinical experience. During the program, you will learn:

• The philosophy of creating a functional and aesthetic smile

• Common mistakes and methods for their prevention when working within the BOPT concept and the vertical preparation technique

• Treatment protocols for pathological tooth wear using ceramic restorations

• Protocols for creating an aesthetic smile within the Art Oral concept (presented by its creator!)

  • Incisal and canine guidance

  • Masticatory function

• Treatment oriented toward facial parameters and growth analysis

• Dentoalveolar compensation according to skeletal pathologies

• Masticatory muscle deprogramming protocols

• TMJ analysis in functional rehabilitation

Lesson 2. Functional veneers: from the TMJ to a beautiful smile
