Study Clubs – Further Treatment Planning – January 2010.
There are a limited places available now for the Northern meeting on Friday 22nd January 2010, Southern meeting – sold out.
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.
For more information on our next RAT in June, please consult the Core Curriculum.
BD Seminars is pleased to announce the launch of its new website.
Our goal is to provide our visitors with the necessary information to make joining our hands-on courses an easy decision. We will be adding further information about our 2010 dental courses over the coming weeks, so please do check back soon!
