OHI-S Ceramic restorations veneers, inlays, crowns 4 lessons 6h 11m

4 lessons 6h 11m

On the online course “Ceramic restorations: veneers, inlays, crowns” you will learn the clinical and laboratory stages of manufacturing the most demanded ceramic restorations:
– inlays, onlays and crowns for anterior and posterior teeth
– using CAD/CAM technologies and ceramics layering
– made of feldspar ceramic, lithium disilicate and zirconium dioxide
– for vertical and classic tooth preparation
– on natural teeth and on implants
– the latest chips and life hacks of prosthetics with metal-free structures.

Who is this course actually for?

Restorative Dentists & Prosthodontists: Practitioners looking to refine their clinical protocols for preparing and placing modern ceramics.

Dental Technicians: Lab professionals wanting to align their digital and analog workflows with the clinical steps of the dentists they collaborate with.

Course Overview (6h 11m / 4 lessons)
Taught by Dr. Giuseppe Marchetti, Dr. Fabio Scutella, and Dr. Eric van der Winden, this specific OHI-S module focuses on modern protocols for indirect dental restorations. Key focus areas include:

Restoration Types: Step-by-step clinical workflows for fabricating and placing veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns for both anterior and posterior teeth.

Preparation Techniques: Navigating classic tooth preparation versus vertical preparation methodologies.

Materials & Technology: Combining CAD/CAM digital technologies with manual ceramic layering techniques using materials like feldspar ceramic, lithium disilicate, and zirconium dioxide.

If you are a working dental professional, this 6-hour investment provides highly actionable protocols that can be immediately applied in a clinic or lab.
