The tooth wear course

Formateur : Kostas Karagiannopoulos Effective management of tooth wear using fully guided composite techniques The prevalence of tooth wear is increasing globally, posing a growing challenge in dentistry. Fully guided composite techniques offer a versatile and predictable solution for restoring worn dentition. In this two-day program, you will learn how to effectively use the Injection Moulding Technique (IMT) in the treatment of tooth wear. We will guide you step by step through the entire treatment process — from initial assessment to long-term maintenance. Key topics include: Opening the vertical dimension Building a functional and aesthetic new occlusion Applying additive direct restorations for minimally invasive rehabilitation This course is designed to provide you with practical skills and clinical insights to treat complex cases of tooth wear using fully guided, interceptive approaches. Day 1:Theory: The Injection Moulding Technique (IMT)Hands-on: Six anterior monoshade composite buildups, one layered buildup Day 2:Theory: Treatment of Tooth WearHands-on: Deprogramming with a Lucia Jig and smile design on an iPad Hands-on practice includes: Photography specific to tooth wear cases Smile design for four wear cases on a tablet with stylus Anterior deprogramming and occlusal registration Injection Moulding Technique for tooth wear: monoshade and layered approaches Gaining insight into the indications, benefits, and limitations of the Injection Moulding Technique (IMT) Hands-on training with both monoshade and layering techniques for aesthetic and functional restorations Becoming familiar with all technical and clinical steps required for a predictable IMT protocol Understanding key occlusal principles such as the Dahl concept and its practical application Learning how to guide a patient with tooth wear: from raising awareness and managing expectations to obtaining well-informed consent Day 1 starts at 09:00 and ends around 17:00.Day 2 starts at 09:00 and ends around 17:00.
