Non-Prep-Veneers and Modified Non-Prep-Veneers

Course Outline

Understanding the importance of proper planning and diagnostics when veneers are desired by patients
Understanding the last improvements in material science and the treatment possibilities they are opening
Understanding the biomechanics involved when teeth are prepared
Deciding when the modified non-prep Veneers are the best choice
Understanding the value shade concept for cementation and the relevance of cement in the survival rate of veneers
Understanding and apply the proper veneer form, based on the natural shape and contours

Agenda

09:00 - 10:30	Lecture: Treatment planning for minimal invasive cases New diagnostic tools Understanding tooth form and contours Biological background Non-prep veneers, advantages, disadvantages, answers and proper planning for a successful treatment Modified non-prep veneers. The interproximal chamfer concept Ceramic materials, new improvements, classification, guidelines for their choice How thin can we go? Enamel preservation and biomechanics Adhesive cementation: Value shade concept Tips and tricks
