Intermediate Dentin Sealing: The 4th Dimension in Adhesive Dentistry

This presentation will explain the fundamental principles of dentin bonding to establish the ideal adhesive system and its optimal application mode. When using semi-(in)direct and indirect bonded restorations, a specific protocol is required, which involves applying the dentin adhesive and resin coating the tooth reparation before making the final impression for inlays/onlays/ veneers and dentin-bonded crowns.

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. We will cover the basics in taking proper photography so that predictable digital design can be achieved with precise measurements.

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.
