Course Description

Introduction

Abstract

The session will discuss the fundamentals required to accomplish a pleasing, functional and long lasting esthetic outcome: treatment plan, team collaboration, understanding of the patient’s needs and selection of restorative materials. A myriad of factors affect the esthetic and functional outcome of complex cases. Properly addressing those factors will facilitate the achievement of a predictable and successful prosthetic rehabilitation. Among others, factors that will significantly improve the functional and esthetic outcome include: proper preoperative esthetic and functional analysis, correct data transmission to the laboratory regarding the occlusal plane orientation and inclination, and definition of an appropriate incisal edge position. A close collaboration is also needed between the surgeon and the restorative dentist both for treating natural dentition or dental implants, especially in the anterior area in challenging clinical situations such as patients with a high smile line. Material selection plays a fundamental role in management of complex rehabilitation cases. This presentation will also illustrate how to select and optimize the use of metal-free ceramic materials even in full mouth rehabilitations. Nowadays an innovative operative protocol allows to face highly compromised clinical situations, with a minimally invasive prosthetic procedure (MIPP) that guarantees an excellent, long lasting esthetic result and a better acceptance of the treatment by the patient.

HANDS ON PROGRAM

Minimally Invasive Tooth Preparation by Dr. Leonardo Bacherini
Abstract
The role of the Prosthodontist is very critical in selecting the most suitable prosthetic treatment that should be as less invasive as possible and at the same time aimed at
achieving the best functional and esthetic long-term result. The preparation design represents a significant step for the respect of the residual tooth structure and, in
particular, for the maintenance of enamel on the tooth surface. Nowadays, due to the increasing use of the digital technology, it is very important to select the most appropriate
preparation design in order to optimize all the steps of the digital workflow and to fabricate a precise and reliable restoration.
Basic principles of tooth preparation
• Bio-mechanic principles of tooth preparation
• Traditional VS Innovative tooth preparation
• Traditional tooth preparation: When, How and Why
• The influence of restorative material selection on tooth preparation design
Minimally invasive tooth preparation
• Basic principles of innovative tooth preparation
• Anterior innovative tooth preparation: complete and partial
• Posterior innovative tooth preparation: complete and partial
• When and how to use post in modern restorative dentistry
• How to restore a severely compromised tooth
How to fabricate the silicone index
• Step-by-step procedure in preparing the silicone index for lateral check
• Step-by-step procedure in preparing the silicone index for occlusal check
• Step-by-step procedure in preparing the silicone index for frontal check

How to use the silicone index

Step-by-step tooth preparation for traditional and innovative crowns, veneers, full
veneers, buccal-occlusal veneers, overlays.
Crowns:
• Traditional preparation
• Innovative preparation
• Preparation for full veneers
Veneers:
• Buccal preparation
• Interproximal preparation
• Cervical preparation
• Incisal shoulder
• Palatal extension
Buccal-occlusal veneers:
• Contact point maintained
• Contact point partially removed
Overlays:
• Occlusal preparation
• Interproximal preparation
• Marginal preparation
