Indirect Adhesive Restorations for Posterior Teeth

Description: Elevate the quality of your indirect posterior restorations with our comprehensive training course led by Frédéric Bellot. Discover the key concepts of adhesive preparations and master modern protocols for indirect restorations (IDS), optical impressions, and cavity design through a structured two-day program. The first day combines scientific principles with hands-on practice: isolation, treatment indications, preparation of onlays/overlays on models, and taking impressions under a rubber dam. The second day delves into crack management, try-ins, and bonding protocols for ceramics or composites, featuring guided hands-on cases. This course highlights reliable and reproducible techniques to optimize your daily restorations and sustainably improve your clinical outcomes.

The following year, in 2019, he continued his studies at the same institution, completing an additional Master’s degree in general dentistry. In his clinical practice, Frédéric Bellot focuses primarily on general dentistry, with a strong interest in restorative and aesthetic aspects. To continue expanding his knowledge and remain at the forefront of his field, he actively participates in various training programs, both in Belgium and internationally. In addition, Frédéric Bellot serves as a university hospital assistant at CHU St-Pierre (ULB), where he primarily supervises the clinical rotations of Master’s students in dental sciences.
