Photography Driven Case Design - A Fully Digital Approach to Designing Anterior Porcelain Reconstructions Better understand the importance of having a proper initial photography protocol and how it translates to the master design for most smile reconstruction cases. This initial digital design produces extremely valuable information for dental technicians before the case begins.

9 am – Noon Frank Spear DDS, MSD Integrating Minimally Invasive Concepts in Complex Treatment Plans AACD 2023 Texas attendees will be riveted as the legendary Dr. Frank Spear will share his wisdom on complex treatment plans. Clinicians are often faced with patient presentations that go beyond the simple decision of, does a tooth need a restoration or not? Those more difficult decisions often involve the decision to retain and restore a questionable tooth or teeth, or extract and place an implant.

All educators and courses are subject to change. Visit aacdconference.com for the latest information.
