Indirect Anterior Restoration
All-ceramic veneers represent a valid alternative to complete crown restorations. The minimally invasive tooth preparation procedure allows maximum preservation of healthy tooth structure, guaranteeing vitality and higher overall resistance of the restoration — supported by the advantages of adhesive cementation. A new clinical approach based on the innovative Minimally Invasive Prosthetic Procedure (MIPP), also applicable to full crown restorations, further enables preservation of vitality and tooth structure. The wide range of available ceramic materials (glass ceramic, alumina, zirconia) permits excellent, long-lasting esthetic results, including mixed rehabilitation on implants. The prosthetic treatment workflow begins with an esthetic and functional plan integrating biological and functional requirements. Classical and digital trends are analyzed in depth. Theoretical Session Aesthetic Analysis & Functional Analysis Case analysis and treatment planning First visit workflow and patient communication Dental photography and smile analysis Facial, phonetic, gingival and occlusal evaluation Vertical dimension (VDO) and occlusal principles Functional concepts, common mistakes and clinical solutions Digital Workflow & Tooth Preparation Digital workflow: from wax-up to mock-up Mock-up techniques and smile design principles Minimally invasive tooth preparation (MIPP) Preparation design, burs selection and margin management No-prep veneers: indications and limitations Materials & Adhesive Protocols Ceramic materials selection and indications Adhesion principles and cementation protocols Color matching and management of discolored teeth Communication with the dental laboratory Clinical Procedures & Advanced Restorations Conventional vs digital impressions Temporaries and laboratory procedures Occlusal finishing and maintenance protocols Management of failures and complications Minimally invasive full-mouth rehabilitations Hands-on Session Participants will create a silicone index for mock-up, prepare teeth with different veneer preparation types, and then fabricate and customize a mock-up using the same silicone index.
