Anterior Prosthodontics: Integrating Porcelain Veneers and Crowns in the Aesthetic Practice

Presented by Dr Christopher C. K. Ho

New Program

In the modern age of patients demanding more aesthetic and natural looking restorations, this presentation covers the use of ceramic restorations (porcelain veneers, onlays and crowns) in the aesthetic zone from treatment planning to preparation and cementation.

A thorough clinical assessment with comprehensive planning of the patient will be emphasised with the utilisation of diagnostic waxups in the workup of these restorations. An integral key to success is the use of provisional veneers and crowns as a communication tool with the ability to preview the final restorations with the patient and ceramist.

The myriad of different ceramics available will be explained with their indications and alternative approaches to their implementation. As well as preparation techniques, the often troublesome area of provisionalisation and cementation of veneers will be practiced within an intensive hands-on workshop with many practical tips provided to help participants confidently and efficiently achieve desired clinical results.

Topics include

  • Optimised Smile Design
  • Diagnostic approach through use of diagnostic waxups
  • Periodontal / Restorative relations - perform soft tissue recontouring
  • Tooth preparation: step by step rationale
  • Adhesive procedures: step-by step procedures, finishing and maintenance protocol
  • Role of the laboratory / ceramist in comprehensive cases and laboratory communication
  • Treating dark teeth
  • Treating malpositioned teeth restoratively
