The request for an improvement
in a patient’s appearance does not mean that they wish to have
most of their sound tooth tissue destroyed in the process of
achieving this. Appearance matters, but not if it is at a huge
biological cost. A minimally destructive approach improves the
appearance of `aesthetically challenged` patients while still
maintaining most of the structure of their teeth, protecting
their pulps and leaving sensible fall back positions for their
long term future. Aggressive destructive approaches undertaken
for elective aesthetic purposes are fraught with all sorts of
dangers including biological, legal and financial ones. Most of
these problems can be avoided with a sensible, balanced,
practical and evidence based approach involving patients`
informed consent. This course will address some common and less
frequently encountered aesthetic problems. It will provide
useful clinical tips many of which have direct application in
general dental practice. |

This course will address the following highly
topical issues in aesthetics to ensure you have more to offer your patients:
Bleaching and Bonding
-
Nightguard vital bleaching – the most
sensible and effective way forward
-
Dealing with dead, discoloured teeth -
the inside/outside bleaching approach
Enamel is not a renewable resource –
composite is and it can be used to:
Aesthetic planning
Doing the Right Thing
|
|
Learning
objectives |
|
Following this course participants will be
more aware of:
-
How bleaching and bonding have evolved
to be the aesthetic `best buys`. This approach enables predictable
aesthetic and biological benefits to be made available to a wide range
of patients for a variety of minor and major clinical problems.
-
Why and how inside/outside bleaching
has dramatically reduced the destruction of teeth caused by the
placement of post crown.
-
How and why many of the traditional
difficulties of missing teeth or irregular teeth can now be solved in an
innovative but predictable and biological sensible way.
