Advanced Adhesive Dentistry
From deep margin elevation to indirect ceramic restorations: master modern adhesive protocols under magnification with an individual workstation and microscope.
Refine adhesive and indirect restorative skills under magnification
This intensive two-day course is designed for clinicians who want to refine adhesive and indirect restorative skills under magnification. Through focused lectures and extensive practical exercises, participants will master modern approaches to building a strong, predictable biobase; performing precision preparations for non-retentive restorations; and applying thermo-modified luting protocols for indirect ceramics.
Working under the microscope, each participant will develop greater control of adhesive procedures, precision finishing, and complete clinical protocols that enhance both function and esthetics.
Four stages, one predictable outcome
Deep Margin Elevation
Predictably elevate deep margins with composite.
Immediate Dentin Sealing
Seal and protect dentin for a durable biobase.
Indirect Ceramic Restoration
Prepare precisely for non-retentive restorations.
Thermo-Modified Luting
Optimize bonding with heat-assisted protocols.
What you will master under the microscope
Biobase & DME
Create a stable biobase with immediate dentin sealing and resin coating, then manage and elevate deep margins predictably.
Non-Retentive Preparations
Prepare inlays, onlays, overlays, and vonlays while preserving tooth structure and achieving ideal adhesive geometry.
Thermo-Modified Luting
Apply the clinical sequence, troubleshooting, finishing, and polishing steps required for long-term ceramic success.
Lecture and hands-on training paired throughout both days
