Synopsis:       

Managing extensive anterior fractures and large Class IV defects can be clinically challenging, particularly when the remaining tooth structure is insufficient to achieve optimal aesthetics, strength, and long term predictability with a conventional Class IV restoration. In such situations, extending the treatment into a direct composite veneer can provide a more harmonious and durable outcome.

This hands-on workshop will demonstrate a practical clinical approach for treating severely compromised anterior teeth, where a large coronal defect involving approximately half of the crown is transformed into a full direct composite veneer restoration. Participants will learn treatment planning considerations, preparation design, shade selection strategies, layering techniques, and finishing and polishing protocols necessary to create seamless integration between the remaining tooth structure and restorative material.

Synopsis:

This workshop explores on how digital innovations are revolutionizing the design and production of dentures. It highlights the use of technologies such as digital impressions, CAD/CAM systems, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and customization of denture fabrication.
