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

• 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
