Course structure: Lessons: 5 lessons | Duration: 4 h 31 min

Course overview

Laminate veneer preparation and adhesive cementation protocols by Dr. Jan Hajtó – an aesthetic dentistry specialist from Germany!
Discover the key aspects of tooth preparation and adhesive cementation to achieve aesthetic and long-lasting laminate veneers in your clinical practice.
During the course, you will learn in detail about:
– Parameters and biomechanics of tooth preparation
– Direct and indirect techniques for fabricating provisional veneers
– Adhesive cementation techniques and protocols for enamel and dentin.
