Abstract:
With the arising biomimetic dentistry, dentists around the globe are offering more conservative and additive type of treatment options. Patients, alike, demand for natural looking restorations that require less natural tooth removal. Simultaneously, dentists would like to be more efficient in placing a direct composite restoration without compromising on aesthetics.
In this lecture and workshop, we will be discussing how aesthetic composites can improve everyday practice by blending art and science together efficiently.
Introduction:
In the first half of the day, participants will be given a substantially fractured incisor which will require a class IV restoration. Each person will learn how to carry out esthetic tooth preparation designs, ideal bonding techniques and how to apply anatomical layering techniques involving different colours and translucencies/opacities to achieve a true-to-nature result that is almost indistinguishable to the human eye.
In the second half of the course, participants will learn how to push the limits of modern-day composites. In one part of the course, participants will build up a large class II molar defect with the conventional and more complex layering-technique.
This will be followed by a session with time-saving and reliable bulk-fill composites to replace large dental cavities efficiently without compromising on performance and aesthetics. A direct and practical comparison will be made between the two techniques as participant will realise whether they prefer a more sophisticated but time-consuming mode of placement or a technique that saves significant amount of chairside time with acceptable aesthetics.
Step-by-step procedure from minimal tooth preparations to bonding, composite placement, adequate curing times and polishing will be demonstrated. Tips and tricks at each stage of the procedure will also be shared.
Learning Objectives:
- Control of value, chroma, translucency and opalescence
- Esthetic tooth preparation techniques for perfect optical integration
- Anatomical build-up techniques to restore the natural tooth shape
- Perform the layering technique and the bulk fill technique for posterior build-ups
- Finishing and polishing to finalise an esthetic result
Who should attend:
- General Practitioners
- Specialists
- Dental Students
Course Outline:
09:00 – 10:30 Lecture: Characteristics and Aesthetic principles. Techniques: tooth preparation, bonding procedures, composite material science, intro to light polymerisation, finish, and polishing
10:30 – 11:00 Coffee Break
11:00 – 13:00 Hands-on: Creation of individual silicone key, esthetic tooth preparation techniques, anatomical build-up of an extended anterior defect applying stratified layers of composite with different translucency levels. Characterization, finishing, polishing. Macro and microtextures.
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch Break
14:00 – 15:00 Lecture: Elaborate lecture on posterior composite restoration – layering vs. bulk fill composite. Further science on light polymerization and pushing the limit of composite material with innovative technology.
15:00 – 16:30 Hands on: Build-up of an extended posterior defect with the Layering Technique
16:30 – 17:00 Coffee Break
17:00 – 17:30 Hands on: Build-up of an extended posterior defect with the Bulk-Fill Technique
17:30 – 18:00 – Wrap-up and Q & A
Demonstration and Workshop:
For the first half of the course:
Every participant will create a silicone key as a template to build up a canvas for the fracture central incisor. This canvas will provide a platform to recreate the true-to-nature restoration with the layering technique. Prior to the buildup, participants will produce a minimalistic. Adhesive tooth preparation with a bevel that will help hide the transition lines and improve the integration of the restoration. Prior to the bonding procedure efficient isolation techniques will be practically demonstrated and repeated by the participants. The participants will then build up the large anterior defect.
Second half of the course:
Every participant will familiarize themselves with the different matrix techniques in order to facilitate a perfect contact point. Next, an optimized bonding procedure will be performed (Etch & Rinse vs. Self-etch vs. Selective-etch technique) and discussed. Tooth 16 will be restored with multiple layers (chromatic dentin shade, medium-translucent enamel shades) and anatomical shape will be created. Thereafter, tooth 26 will be restored with the bulk-fill technique (one medium-translucent shade) and an anatomical shape will be created. A comparison on time taken to carry out these procedures will be finished using diamond burs and then polished to a high gloss comparing multiple-step vs. one-step polishing systems. The marginal adaptation, contact point, anatomical shape and aesthetic appearance of both restorations will be compared and critically evaluated.

Abstract:
Pediatric Dentistry speciality in dentistry has gain more importance in the last decade because of the changing eating habits and increasing dental awareness. Managing child behaviour and fulfilling parents’ expectations is the real challenge in Pediatric Dentistry.
This workshop will train the dentistry to learn minimally invasive dentistry techniques in pediatric dentistry, pediatric endodontics, pediatric esthetic crowns and preformed space maintainers. This workshop will enable dentist to learn easy, faster, and durable techniques in Pediatric Dentistry.
Introduction:
Silver diamine fluoride is an expensive topical medicament used extensively to treat dental caries. No drilling of teeth and anesthesia is required for this procedure.
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), is unique endodontic cement formulated of fine hydrophilic particles. MTA had lot of applications in paediatric endodontics and young permanent molars.
The conventional hand instrumentation in Pediatric endodontics, makes procedures much more time consuming. Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary files have been developed for use in pediatric endodontics are cost effective and results in fills that are consistently uniform and predictable.
The demand for esthetic and life like restorations in is increasing in all fields of dentistry. The latest is preformed flexible crowns. It is durable, biocompatible, and esthetic restorative option.
The safest way to prevent future malocclusions from tooth loss is to place a space maintainer that is effective and durable. Prefabricated band and loops require only one appointment, are quickly placed in a session, and do not require laboratory work; thus, they need less time and cost.
This workshop will help dentist to master newer and easy to do techniques in Pediatric dentistry, which will help them to give best treatments to their child patients.
Learning Objectives:
- To evaluate and diagnose a case of restoration, pulp therapy, space maintainers and full coverage restorations
- To explain the newer dental materials and techniques in pediatric dentistry
- To compare and critically evaluate customized and ready-made technique of space maintainer
- To master the technique of rotary endodontics, MTA, preformed flexible crowns and preformed space maintainers (Distal Shoe, Band and Loop space maintainers)

Title: All Ceramics: Their Last Advancement, Preparation Needs and Bonding Protocols
Appreciation Certificate(Speaker)
Attendance Certificate(Speaker & Delegates)
Date: 05 February 2024
Time: 9:00 – 18:00
Venue: Novotel World Trade Centre Hotel – ONYX, PEARL + EMERALD ROOM
Registration Fee: AED 1,800 After 24th September

Accreditation: 7 cr – ADA / 5.5 CPD DAHC / 7 ICHS CME Credits
Abstract:A fundamental principle in replacing missing tooth structure or missing teeth is the restoration of function and esthetics at minimal biological cost. The introduction of new all-ceramic materials and adhesive cementation techniques have facilitated innovative, conservative preparation designs for single tooth and Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) restorations. The reliable bond to enamel and dentin achieved with modern adhesive techniques had a great impact on modern tooth preparation designs resulting in significant preservation of tooth structure.
Today, the clinician can choose from very different ceramic materials such as Silicate glass ceramics, Lithium-Di-Silicate ceramics, and Polycrystalline materials like Zirconium Dioxide. However, in terms of strength and esthetics there are significant differences that need to be considered for an adequate tooth preparation and cementation of the final restoration.
Introduction:
In this practical workshop participants will learn how to execute optimal tooth preparation designs for modern all-ceramic materials covering different indications in the posterior and anterior dentition.
In addition, participants will get more familiar with the clinical procedures for the different cementation techniques for all-ceramic restorations. The clinical cementation workflow – including the pre-treatment of restorations – will be practically carried out step-by-step.
Learning Objectives:
- To know the difference between the various all-ceramic systems in terms of esthetics, strength, invasiveness, and clinical application.
- Optimum tooth preparation designs for all-ceramic restorations.
- To know the difference between the various luting material categories, their preferred indications, and their clinical application.
- Pre-treatment of all-ceramic materials prior to cementation.
- Correct clinical management in case of surface contamination of the ceramic restoration after clinical try-in.
Who should attend:
- General Practitioners
- Specialists
- Dental Students
