Across two intensive days, Dr Gürel presented the latest developments in the APT approach, guiding attendees through a complete journey of aesthetic assessment, smile design, clinical implementation, and finalisation. The APT concept, which allows clinicians to visualise and evaluate the expected outcome through pre-evaluative temporary veneers, served as the foundation of the training. Participants explored how this method enhances treatment planning, improves patient communication, and increases predictability in restorative dentistry.
The course combined theory with extensive practical exercises. Delegates worked on multiple hands-on tasks using models mounted on phantom heads, enabling them to practise essential steps such as veneer preparation, temporisation, adhesive techniques, and aesthetic finishing. Throughout the sessions, Dr Gürel offered personalised guidance and shared clinical insights drawn from decades of pioneering work in aesthetic dentistry.
This edition of the APT masterclass attracted a diverse and highly engaged group of dental professionals. Their enthusiasm and active participation contributed to a dynamic learning environment that elevated the experience for everyone involved. Many attendees highlighted the value of Dr Gürel’s detailed explanations and his commitment to helping each participant refine their clinical skills.
CAPP extends its appreciation to Dr Shaista Siddiqui for her vital role as clinical instructor throughout the two-day programme, as well as to our partners DMG, Advance Healthcare, Mdent, and Swan, whose support was essential in delivering an outstanding educational event.
With another successful course completed, CAPP reaffirms its dedication to providing high-quality dental education in the region and looks forward to welcoming Dr Galip Gürel again in 2025 for the next instalment of this sought-after masterclass.
