OHI-S Anterior veneers digital manufacturing protocols for functional and aesthetic restorations

5 lessons + 1 free (3h 37min)

Jan Hajtó, the world’s leading expert in the application of digital technologies in aesthetic dentistry, will present you with a comprehensive guide on creating aesthetic and durable anterior laminate veneers using modern digital protocols.

During the course, you will learn:

– How to utilize digital technologies for diagnosis, treatment planning, and fabrication of veneers

– How to consider functional aspects when designing veneers

– How to create precise models of patients’ smiles using modern digital tools for scanning and tooth modeling.

The lecturer will share invaluable practical insights on veneer design and creation, including material selection, achieving coordinated shape and color, and navigating adhesion challenges. You will discover how to achieve a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality for optimal results.

The OHI‑S Anterior Veneers: Digital Manufacturing Protocols for Functional and Aesthetic Restorations course is best for dentists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons, and dental technicians who want structured, training in digital veneer workflows—from diagnosis and design to fabrication—ensuring both functional durability and aesthetic excellence.

Who Should Enroll
General dentists & prosthodontists seeking to integrate digital veneer protocols into daily practice.

Dental technicians & lab professionals designing and fabricating veneers with CAD/CAM systems.
Residents, fellows, and trainees in restorative dentistry or prosthodontics needing structured digital training.
Clinicians transitioning from analog to digital workflows in aesthetic dentistry.
What You’ll Learn
Digital diagnosis & treatment planning: using CBCT, intraoral scanning, and smile design software.
Functional considerations: occlusion, TMJ pathology, and long‑term stability of veneers.
Manufacturing protocols: step‑by‑step guidance for non‑prep, minimally invasive, and invasive veneers.
Material selection: ceramics, composites, and digital fabrication options.
Analog vs. digital workflows: when to combine traditional methods with modern CAD/CAM.
Case‑based lessons: real patient examples for aesthetic and functional restorations.
