SMILE DESIGN AND ADVANCED PROVISIONAL FABRICATION

A “hands-on” Course for Dentists, Dental Assistants, and Lab Technicians

High quality provisional restorations are essential in a dental practice dedicated to comprehensive restorative dentistry. Cosmetic reconstruction is much more predictable when using superbly made provisionals to serve as a blueprint for the final restoration.

This presentation will provide the details of an indirect technique used to fabricate multilayered composite provisional restorations for porcelain veneers and complex full-arch cases. Participants will make custom templates, take impressions and pour a model for indirect fabrication of provisional restorations using a new system from Dentsply called Radica.

After completing this course the participants will learn:

• Principles of smile design to be used to develop an ideal diagnostic wax-up.
• How to transfer the information in the diagnostic wax-up into a completed provisional that rivals the final restoration.
• Step-by-step hands-on instruction for the provisional technique (all equipment and materials provided)
