COURSE OVERVIEW

Do you ever wonder where to remove tooth structure when prepping a restorative case? Is it difficult to obtain the final esthetics because we removed too much tooth structure here and not enough there? Dr. Bassett will present how to simplify restorative cases using incisal and labial reduction prep guides. She will also present an update on air driven and electric handpieces, including which speeds and torques are used when preparing tooth structure, refining margins, and polishing prototypes. These techniques are published in leading dental publications and ensure predictable and repeatable results.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Master the concepts of reduction preparation guides, and integrate them with basic preparation design principles.
  • Learn what settings to use on your electric handpiece to remove existing restorations, prepare the tooth, and finish the margins.
  • Master composite provisional augmentation and then use air-driven handpieces to finish and polish.
