Introduction

• Esthetic analysis
• Functional analysis and occlusal considerations
• Communicating with the laboratory
• Provisional restorations
• Perio-prosthetic treatment
• Implants: from single anterior tooth to complex rehabilitations
• Final tooth preparation - final impressions
• From provisional to final restoration
• All-ceramics: crowns, veneers and bridges

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to outline a systematic approach to prosthetic rehabilitation and help the clinician to confidently address comprehensive treatment involving bridges, crowns, veneers and onlays on natural dentition and on implants, from a single restoration to full-mouth rehabilitation. To help clinicians planning and finishing a case from good to excellent! This goal can be reached also thanks to the MIPP Technique (Minimally Invasive Prosthetic Procedure), an innovative protocol that guarantees a long-lasting result and a better acceptance of the treatment by the patient. This is a high level program focusing mainly on occlusion and function rather than esthetics and materials.

Abstract

The application of a tried and tested system, experimented for over 25 years, represents, especially for complex rehabilitations, an indispensable means of achieving optimal final results, from the esthetic as well as biological and functional viewpoints. The prosthetic treatment plan must allow an ideal integration of esthetics, biological and functional parameters on natural teeth and on implants. The esthetic analysis, thanks to a simple and systematic approach to assessing facial, dento-labial, phonetic, dental and gingival factors, will allow the clinician to optimize the prosthetic treatment plan. Biofunctional provisionals serve as blueprints for the definite prosthesis, providing all information about shape, position, emergence profiles, arrangement of teeth and non-destructive occlusion especially in challenging clinical situations. Material selection with the dental ceramist is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation cases with porcelain crowns, bridges, implant abutments and veneers. The use of metal-free ceramic materials allows to achieve excellent esthetic results in the
anterior area for crowns and veneers fabrication. Clinical and technical suggestions for obtaining esthetic anddurable results will be supplied.

LIVE DEMONSTRATION ON PATIENT BY DR. FRADEANI
Preliminary tooth preparation, provisional and final tooth impressions
or
finalization of the prosthetic treatment with luting procedure to bond the restorations
One of the above mentioned procedures will be performed during the live demonstration, whereas the other one will be documented by the means of a DVD presentation showing step-by-step phases of the work.

Full HD movies:

• Step-by-step tooth preparations
• Provisionals
• Final impressions
• Provisional fitting
• Provisional relining and finishing
• Bonding procedures

During the 4-day program Dr. Mauro Fradeani will present several full-mouth rehabilitation cases on natural dentition and implants that were finalized thanks to a multidisciplinary approach.
Cases involving endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics and bruxer patients will be illustrated and explained in-depth.
