Speaker Bio:
Description: Highly skilled professionals, like musicians and athletes, spend the majority of their life practicing. While dentists are most certainly highly skilled professionals, most of what we call “practice” is actually performance. When was the last time you picked up a Typodont and a handpiece and practiced? Practice doesn’t just improve efficiency, it also improves effectiveness. The preps you learned in dental school may not be letting you get the best from today’s materials. This hands-‐on workshop will give you the opportunity to see and do several preparations on bi-‐layered teeth that realistically mimic natural teeth. Posterior preps will be discussed and then completed by every participant.
Learning Objectives:
- Posterior partial coverage preparations for all porcelain
- Posterior full coverage preparations
- Reduction matrices for precise preps
- Preparing teeth for CAD/CAM dentistry
