In-Person Workshop: Six Lessons Approach to Biomimetic Dentistry. Hands-on Training at the Alleman Center

Join Dr. David Alleman and Dr. Davey Alleman, the creators of the biomimetic Six Lessons Approach, for an intensive two-day hands-on workshop at the well-known Alleman Center for Biomimetic Dentistry!

Designed for dentists at all levels — this program blends scientific lectures with clinical protocols and practical application.

Over two days, participants will explore:

– Diagnosis and treatment of caries and dentinal cracks, with emphasis on early detection and conservative intervention
– Isolation techniques, including rubber dam placement, use of teflon tape, and copper band adaptation for precise control in complex cases
– Immediate dentin sealing and resin coating, combined with deep margin elevation, Ribbond reinforcement, and creation of a stable biomimetic base
– Strategies for managing C-factor stresses through smart prep design that preserves structure and ensures restorative longevity
– Fabrication and bonding of semi-direct onlays to enamel, optimizing adhesion and functional integration
– Occlusal adjustment and verticalization of the envelope of function, supporting long-term restoration success and patient comfort.

In addition to clinical training, each participant will receive:

– A curated collection of scientific articles supporting the course protocols
– A one-on-one treatment planning session after the workshop with either Dr. David or Dr. Davey Alleman to discuss one of their own clinical cases and apply the learned protocols directly to practice.

This workshop is a rare opportunity to learn biomimetic principles directly from the innovators behind the Six Lessons Approach and to elevate your restorative dentistry with confidence and precision.

IMPORTANT: you can also attend a similar course on January 30-31.
