Friday May 7th / 8th – 1 ¹/₂ day intensive Hands-On course

Back in 2009, Assistants, Hygienists, and Practice Managers attended our Assistants course.

This is an intensive hands on 1 1/5 day course, students accomplished many skills to help assist to the highest level and succeeded in taking a full series of photographs necessary for the record gathering process.

The group looked at the role of occlusion and the background behind the Concept of Complete Dentistry. By the end of the course they all left with a firm understanding of the articulator and how to cast and mount models in CR.

At the end of the first day, a night out was hosted for everyone at a restaurant nearby and after the second day they were ready to return to their practice and face the challenges ahead with enthusiasm.

Due to a high demand, two courses on Restoring Anterior Teeth were held at the Dawson Centre in the Wirral during December. Senior Faculty Member of the Dawson Academy, Scott Finlay, flew over from Annapolis, Maryland USA to help assist Ian Buckle with the first Restoring Anterior Teeth Hands On. This was the first of its kind in the UK showing the AACD Recommended Private Education Course Logo.

Most simple “Smile Makeovers” are not simple veneer cases. Often patients present with a mixture of old crowns, root treated, heavily filled teeth, bridges or implants but still expect the perfect smile. Moreover, wear and other functional probems may further complicate treatment.

Delegates attending the progam studied the records required, how to visualise and treatment plan the correct position before selecting the correct restoration.

They covered the requirements for prepararation to provide beautiful and functionally correct temporary restorations quickly and easily.
