Dubai World Dental Meeting

Abstract:

For many years, “Esthetics” in Operative Dentistry has been taught as something more artistic than scientific. Often, is left for many dentists the feeling that there’s a lack of information, one that might help planning and executing cases with reliability, predictability and, why not, serenity. What this course proposes is to change the concept that Esthetics is purely artistic and empiric. Nowadays it is possible to work with emphasis in esthetic procedures in an ethical way, having in mind the patient’s whole oral health, and having by our side predictability of results sustained by scientific evidence, always under the precepts of minimally invasive Dentistry. It is important to understand the patient’s complaints, and also know what are the techniques and materials that we currently have available. Regarding any Esthetic rehabilitation, we must always focus on the Minimally Invasive Dentistry. For the dentist that aspire advanced esthetic procedures with dental composites, it is paramount to know deeply the properties of both composite and tooth; more specifically theirs mechanical and optical properties. From this knowledge depends not only the immediate behavior of the material, but also the reliability of a long-lasting restoration. Furthermore, only by knowing the composite we will be able identify which materials would be able to reproduce even the smallest anatomical and optical details of the natural tooth.

Learning Objectives:

• Master a new perspec6ve for the placement of anterior composites
• Discuss a different clinical approach to make color matching easy
• Reduce clinical stress by improving case predictability
• Learn how to simplify composite layering technique

Who should attend:

• General Practitioner
• Specialists
• Dental Students

Course Outline:

9:00 – 10:00 Lecture: Parameters for making imperceptible restorations. Optical properties of both teeth and composites.
10:00 – 11:00 Lecture: Translucence, Opalescence & Fluorescence – taking your esthetic restorations to the next level. Best Approach for Color selection. Perspectives on contemporary composites
11:00 – 11:15 Coffee Break

Dr. Rafael Beolchi, DDS, MSc, of São Paulo, Brazil, has more than 20 years of experience in esthetic and cosmetic dentistry. He is known for his international lectures and educational activities. Dr. Beolchi is the author of two book chapters: “Restoration of endodontically treated teeth” in Professor Mario Leonardo’s book on endodontics, and the chapter on light curing in Professor Ewerton N. Conceição’s book on operative dentistry.

Abstract:

There are several new techniques, materials and devices in dentistry, and in order for us to keep up the pace, it is paramount for today’s professionals to be updated on what is possible to perform nowadays. What this course proposes is to facilitate the understanding of important and fundamental topics regarding longevity and stability of our composite restorations. Also, new concepts for with such understanding, new treatment options will unfold. It will be easier for professionals to treat cases with much more tranquility, diminishing post op sensitivity, and at the same time, increasing longevity with confidence.

Learning Objectives:

• Review changes in adhesion and light curing: new keys for short- and long-term success
• Master a new perspective for the extensive rehabilitation of the posterior segment
• Reduce clinical stress by improving case predictability
• Updates on techniques and materials for today’s dentistry

Who should attend:

• General Practitioner
• Specialists
• Dental Students

Course Outline:

9:00 – 10:00 Lecture: 3D Anatomy in posteriors.
10:00 – 11:00 Lecture: Resin placement techniques: fast and reliable methods. Complimentary matrix systems
11:00 – 11:15 Coffee Break
11:15 – 13:00 Hands on: Layering reconstruction – Extensive Class II
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch Break
