Description

This Lecture and demo course will teach participants the laboratory and clinical steps for implementing BFEP’s (bonded functional esthetic prototypes) using a special light-cured structural Plowable (that can actually be used for semi-permanent restorations) prior to ECR (veneer) preparation to “trial” the smile for increased predictability of case acceptance. The step-by-step process of 2 different types of ECR preparations based on the esthetically driven desired outcome will be demonstrated and completed by the participants.

Objectives

Participants will learn and complete procedures such as:

• Special clear tray techniques and developing clear matrix’s for the BFEP technique

• Bonded diagnostic Functional Esthetic Prototypes using a special high physical property flowable composite

• Minimalistic to no-prep situations

• Preparations for bonded porcelain with a specific emphasis on how to control tooth reduction

• Preparations to close Diasthema’s on one central incisor and peg lateral

• Sealing Dentin using Universal • Defect Driven posterior Onlay

• Posterior Block-out using structurally flowable. Some call this technique “resin coating”

• Adhesive update and Cementation demo “4th Generation 2.0
