Workshop from the guru of aesthetic dentistry Galip Gurel in Istanbul!

The course includes a theoretical part, in which you together with the lecturer will study:

– a detailed protocol for the preparation of teeth, including an analysis of the burs used

– rules for working with gingiva

– creation of analog and digital mock-up

– step-by-step protocol for creating Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries (APT)

– planning an individual smile design

– step-by-step protocol for creating, fixing and finishing indirect restorations.

And on the practical part, you will be able to work out the knowledge gained in theoretical sessions.

PROGRAM

Day 1

Morning session

Basic introduction to the APT concept

– The story of APT (Aesthethic Pre-evaluative Temporaries)

– The story of the silicone indexes

– The story of the preparation through the APT technique

– Basic analog workflow for the anterior bonded porcelain restorations.

– Video of a live recorded case.

Tooth Preparation by Dr. Gurel (VIDEO DEMONSTRATION):

– Designing the smile

– Mock-up — Wax-up

– Preparing silicone indexes in the lab or chair side

– Analyzing the smile with the indexes

– Aesthetic pre-recontouring — APR (if needed)

– Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries — APT

– Evaluation of the aesthetics through APT

– Evaluation of occlusion through APT

– Evaluation of phonetics through APT

– Tooth preparation through the APT

– Using depth cutters

– Using extra fine diamond burs

– Finishing the margins

– Utilizing the loops and microscope

– Customising your Arkansas stone burs for finalising gingival margin preparations

– Using the softlex paper discs during the preparation

– Handling exposed dentin at time of preparation

– Impression making using retraction cords (if needed)

– Provisionals (discussing different techniques depending on different indications)

– Rechecking the provisionals for aesthetics, functions, and phonetics.

Afternoon session

– Importance of the mock up (analog/digital)

– Presenting the case to the patient - the direct mock up

– The mock up as the navigator

– The mock up as the diagnostic tool

– Classification and different types of direct mock up

– The Art of the Personalized Smile Design

– Different personalities, different choices

– Personality traits (Hippocrates)

– Different cultures, religions, backgrounds, traditions.. however a single universal VISUAL LANGUAGE (Carl Jung)

– Understanding the basic shapes and their perception

– Difference between looking and seeing

– Analysis of the face and its perception

– Analysis of the personality

– Research amongst the dentists about perception

– How to relate the Visual language and the shapes to the facial anatomy and personality

– How to clinically apply the technique.

Afternoon session

– Bonding - adhesives

– Update on Dental adhesives

– The hybrid layer

– Ingredients of the adhesive systems

– How to classify the adhesive systems in their most simplistic way

– Light curing (Technique for the minimum invasive margin cleaning)

– Final Cleaning (burs or ?)

– Checking the aesthetics, occlusion.
