A new era that requires new answers August Brugera
Digital dentistry has changed, everything and today it is necessary to review parameters that were previously immutable. Dental preparations for a digital flow require new parameters. How we choose and evaluate color in monolithic restorations requires new parameters. Choosing the correct library requires a protocol that does not exist… in my presentation I am going to try to put things in order by looking for new protocols that will help us in this new era.

Bio-Emulation™ Laminar Techniques: Layering and Surface detailing Dr. Leandro Pereira
Guided by nature’s histo-anatomical database, one can try to faithfully emulate the optical characteristics of anterior and posterior teeth. Through relentless observation and a passionate study of God’s creation, the Bio-Emulation Laminar Techniques have been conceived and designed, but only throughout the years perfected.
SIMPLEX and COMPLEX ways to interpret and replicate the natural dentition; A novel approach for layering composite restorations and achieving seamless results, always. But, as in life, one can’t only look at the interior without consideration for the exterior, a well executed composite layering technique must be complemented with a carefully crafted exterior morphology.
During this lecture, the attendees will be taken through a journey that attempts to illustrate how to properly model and sculpt both internal and external dental structures.

Colour Perception in Dentistry: Enhancing Aesthetic Outcomes ZTM Sascha Hein
Achieving the right color match in dentistry is crucial for patient satisfaction and aesthetic excellence. This presentation focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of different tools used in dental practices to measure tooth color. We examined six commonly used devices and explored how well they match colors as perceived by the human eye, guided by feedback from expert observers. Surprisingly, simpler methods outperforms more complex systems, challenging assumptions about the need for advanced technology for accurate color matching.
Through targeted fine tuning, visual-instrumental agreement can be improved even further. This presentation is designed to offer practical insights for dental practitioners and dental technicians, highlighting that with the right adjustments, instrumental shade measurement can lead to improved results, ensuring that restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth. This work aims to simplify the science of color matching for dental professionals, making it easier to achieve the desired aesthetic outcomes for their patients.

Enter the Cube; Craniofacial Spatial Arrangement Redefined via the BaseLine Dr. Panagiotis Bazos, Prof. Dr. Diogo Miguel Viegas
The diagnostic template serves as the point of origin for any facially generated treatment plan in the modern restorative practice. Thus an accurate and precise maxillo-mandibular three dimensional spatial registration will provide the dental team with a flawless workflow, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness, when working in either the conventional (manual) or contemporary (digital) modes.
The position of the occlusal plane in the patient and the articulator is an essential link for achieving the functional and esthetic goals of the anticipated treatment plan. Patient specific anatomic craniofacial landmarks within the frontal, transverse and sagittal planes will be thouroughly explored and analyzed.
Participants will learn how to mitigate transfer errors and increase accuracy via specific BaseLine driven photographic and radiographic protocols in addition to utilising the OneBite Evolution in an analogue or digital workflow, aiding both clinicians and technicians to systematically manage the proper spatial orientation of the maxillary cast.

The Use of Rubber Dam in Restorative Dentistry: I love you-neither do I Dr. Stephane Browet, Dr. David Gerdolle
It is accepted that preparing bonded restorations under rubber dam presents numerous benefits, insofar as it preserves the dentin from any pre- and postoperative contamination and improves the bond strength when preparation and immediate adhesive sealing of the dentin are carried out simultaneously. Moreover, when the rubber dam is installed at the start of the clinical procedure, it prevents contamination by bacterial flora from the patient’s mouth, thereby reducing the risk of infection.
Rubber dam by definition combines isolation and retraction of peripheral soft tissues, there is no more opportune and easier time to take the impression of the preparations. The advent of the digital brings a real upgrade from this point of view. Different clinical studies have shown that teeth migrations are very likely to occur when a rubber dam is used though. Undesirable dental migrations would prevent creating efficient proximal contacts or on the contrary would lead to the need to carry out many adjustments of the same proximal contacts at the time of luting.
The aim of this presentation is then to share the results of our retrospective clinical evaluations in order to combine the advantages of rubber dam isolation with operative accuracy.

The long-lasting non-retentive bonded partial crown Dr. Gianfranco Politano, Prof Marleen Peumans
Restoration of large defects in the posterior region with a direct composite restoration is possible, although this is not an easy task for the dentist. The most durable, minimally invasive restoration of posterior teeth with large defects is the indirect bonded partial lithium disilicate glass ceramic restoration (onlay, partial crown).
During this lecture, the ‘when, why and how’ of partial indirect bonded restorations in the posterior region will be discussed.

Layers of Creation – Chapter II – The Tragedy’s End ZTM Thomas Sing
“Producing esthetic and functional ceramic solutions is all about inspiration, motivation, emotion and passion. With his unique perspective on these essential facets of ceramic art and technology, Thomas will talk about things dental technicians have to be aware of, things which are important and things that are worthless.
His approach will be to share ceramic cases that worked out nicely and cases that didn’t – in other words, real life!
A lecture by a dental technician for dental technicians!”

Contemporary management of worn dentitions Dr. Jean David Boschatel
More and more patients are presenting to the clinic with severe erosive lesions, seeking treatment that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns to regain a better quality of life.
Global rehabilitations can prove to be quite challenging for inexperienced practitioners, and all too often, partial management of these patients leads to unsatisfactory compromises. In this presentation, we will explore how to treat these patients simply with a minimally invasive and biomimetic approach.
We will also discuss how digital tools can assist us in planning these treatments, aesthetically through relevant smile design software and functionally using a variety of 3D tools. Additionally, we will cover proper occlusion management with simple tools to ensure the best longevity for our treatments.
Our objective is to offer our patients aesthetic, comfortable, and long-lasting treatments, all within reasonable treatment times.

UNIQUE – Exploring singularity through the direct restoration of a single anterior tooth Dr. Joana Garcez
Restoring a central incisor to mirror the natural characteristics of its contralateral counterpart in all dimensions – aesthetic, functional, and biological – presents a formidable challenge, even with the extensive range of materials and techniques available today. The intricacy of mimicking this tooth is heightened by its location in the anterior region, at the heart of the esthetic zone, where even the slightest differences become easily noticeable.
Every tooth is unique! The characteristics of anterior teeth vary from patient to patient; yet, with an organized approach, it’s possible to faithfully reproduce these features. This lecture aims to provide attendees with a profound understanding of the intricate challenges involved in achieving a genuine replication of key aesthetic parameters (color, shape, and texture) through the restoration of a single anterior tooth.

Anterior bonded restorations in the digital era: from direct to indirect with a minimum intervention perspective Dr. Javier Tapia Guadix
Achievement of aesthetic anterior restorations that resemble natural teeth represent a great challenge for our daily practice. Additionally, the demand for minimally invasive dentistry is increasing everyday, not only from our patients, but also due to the pressure of our own colleagues. Furthermore, the compromise of mechanical and optical properties by this minimally invasive mindset may affect the clinical outcome when not following strict adhesive protocols.
The digital workflows, including scanning, planning, CAD design and CAM manufacturing can help us to get a faster and durable outcome. However, given the wide variety of techniques and available materials, a rational approach must be utilised to obtain an optimal outcome. From the limitations of analogue and digital, to the limitations of manufacturing, preparation, mechanics and optical behaviour, we need to understand how, when and what we need on each case.
In this lecture I will try to give a commonsensical perspective to achieve beautiful anterior bonded restorations that can meet the expectations of our patients.

Emulation of nature with direct restorative materials Dr. Javier Tapia Guadix
The Bio-Emulation approach as written in structural analysis and visual synthesis defined the new bases to consider for replication of natural tooth structures with composite resin. The penta_laminar concept represents the ultimate implementation of this philosophy: analysing different ageing stages to build a dynamic shade concept that adapts to nature. By analysing the key factors of natural structure’s ageing process and applying this knowledge to the material selection, it is possible to simplify techniques to make them approachable in all situations. From a bi-laminar technique to the penta_laminar technique we can learn to adapt our work in order to optimise the clinical outcome achieving cost-effective treatments to cover our patients needs and expectations.

Luting adhesively indirect restorations: the no-finishing concept
Over the past 30 years, the development of adhesive techniques has thus reduced the biological cost of bonded indirect restorations (in/onlays and veneers). Regarding these restorations, protocols are well standardized, and the literature demonstrates similar or even better success rates than conventional cemented restorations over 20Y follow up.
However, the procedures for bonding to dental tissue are still more demanding than those for conventional cemented prostheses. One of the keys to the durability of indirect adhesive restorations is their ability to prevent bacterial plaque from adhering to their surface. This hands-on will thus describe a clinical protocol for obtaining the smoothest possible prosthetic margins, without resorting to conventional finishing and polishing techniques, which are tedious and time-consuming.

Unicorn Crown™ – A short story about decisions ZTM Thomas Sing
With his unique perspective on all essential facets of ceramic art and technology, Thomas will show how he approaches a highly aesthetic outcome on an anterior case, using Creation ́s Zi-CT ceramic system, creating his so called “Unicorn Crown™” including all possible natural effects.
The participants will learn how to achieve a correct shade selection, how to take pictures of the cases before and how to create highly aestheticemotional after pictures with minimal effort. Thomas will talk about things, dental technicians have to be aware of, things which are important and things that are worthless. His approach will be, to share his knowledge that worked out nicely and things that didn’t – in other words, real life! A short condensed hands on course by a dental technician for dental technicians.

Dental Photography: from the basics to artistry
In dentistry, photography has for long been considered as time-consuming, expensive and hard to implement in daily practices. On top of that, it’s common that fellow dentists complain about difficulties to get nice shots. In reality, using a camera to document cases is actually pretty simple and straightforward. It’s even possible to get to artistic pictures easily. But, the main advantage about documentation is treatment planning and communication with your patient, lab and team. It’s essential when we’re talking about comprehensive treatment and biomimetic dentistry.


Through this dedicated workshop, you’ll get to learn all the fundamentals about dental photography and understand how to properly use your equipment, as well as using standardized protocols for case documentation. Then, we’ll show you how to perform artistic shots. Get ready to level up your game!

Prof. Dr. Diogo Miguel Viegas MSc

Portugal, Lisbon

I’m a Prosthodontist and dental technician as well. It’s something uncommon but very important if you want to understand how it all works. Sitting behind a bench was one of the most important and relevant aspects of my professional life. After 21 years at the uni I decided to make a PhD. It was the right step. It gave me critical sense in order to develop a line of research. My interest is in digital dentistry.
