Course Information
This course covers in depth risk and causative factors for tooth wear and their bio-mechanical implications. A very detailed and comprehensive treatment approach will be presented considering tooth wear extent and individual dental conditions. This is the most complete and evidence-based course of its kind.
Due to their severe side effects, traditional treatment concepts like full crowns are contra-indicated for the treatment of worn dentition which are showing tooth destruction as abrasion, attrition, abfraction, and erosion.
Tooth wear follows an individual pattern which affects not only different teeth but also leads to different extents and wear type. Therefore, “tooth wear” demands innovative concepts for individual treatment.
A true Breakthrough in Modern Restorative Dentistry
Dider Dietschi developed a new perspective and innovative concept on how to better intercept tooth wear pathologies. He provides a true breakthrough in restorative dentistry which is evidence based and developed from decades of clinical experience.
His hands-on course is addressed to all dentists who want to raise patient care with new treatment strategies for all stages of tooth wear - from prevention and small defects to advanced extend.
Predictable and Safe Tooth Wear Treatment
After this course, you will understand the requirements and apply the “hows” of safe tooth wear treatment, which is not only keeping your patients’ remaining tooth structure but will provide good functional adaptation to their new restorations.
You will learn:
Ø Maintaining tooth structure, rather than reducing more
Ø Preserving bio-mechanical behavior of teeth
Ø Achieving outstanding functional & esthetic restorations
Ø Creating conditions for smooth adaptation
Ø Preventing progress of tooth wear
Ø Renewing and long-term maintenance protocols
Ø Diagnosis and risk factors
Ø Esthetic and occluso-functional objectives
Ø Choice of Occlusal position and Vertical Dimension (VDO)
Ø Analog / digital wax-up and CAD/CAM
Ø Treatment protocols based on individual clinical situations
Ø Material choice by wear extent and localization
