Introduction

Aesthetics dentistry is a topic which is currently commonly presented in many congresses, articles and dental schools. Every dentist wishes to be confident in this area, but it can be a challenge to master, especially with new techniques being quite complicated. Some dentists are even skeptical about the term “simple” aesthetic dentistry as they go through processes that do not always achieve optimal aesthetic results. However, StyleItaliano demonstrates that this doesn’t have to be the case. With this course, you will learn how to obtain excellent results using “all time” concepts and the most contemporary, simplified techniques.

Overview

The main goal of this course is to teach the practitioner practical, simple techniques that can be applied immediately after the course in their everyday practice to boost the quality of their work (especially in the areas of function and aesthetics).

  • Become an expert in colour matching
  • Master stratification of composite resins
  • Master surface texture and morphology
  • Learn how to make adhesive dentistry last
