OHI-S Ceramic Veneers Interdisciplinary Approach and Updated Protocols

6 lessons + 1 free (6h 16min)

Explore Dr. Giacomo Armani’s interdisciplinary approach to ceramic veneers — Solutions for everyday aesthetic cases!

Within the course, you will learn in detail about:

– The ortho-prostho approach to ceramic veneers

– The perio-prostho approach to ceramic veneers

– Guided and vertical preparation techniques

– Adhesive protocols and bonding of ceramic veneers.

Achieve aesthetic, functional, and long-lasting ceramic veneers with the interdisciplinary approach. This course will significantly enhance the patients’ appreciation of your work!

The OHI‑S Ceramic Veneers: Interdisciplinary Approach and Updated Protocols course is best for prosthodontists, restorative dentists, orthodontists, and dental technicians who want structured, training in modern veneer workflows that integrate multiple disciplines. It emphasizes updated preparation and bonding protocols, digital smile design, and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve predictable, aesthetic, and functional outcomes.

Who Should Enroll
Prosthodontists managing complex aesthetic and functional rehabilitations with veneers.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners performing veneers who want predictable, minimally invasive results.
Orthodontists collaborating in interdisciplinary cases where tooth alignment supports veneer outcomes.
Dental technicians & ceramists fabricating veneers and working closely with clinicians on design and layering.
Residents & fellows in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, or orthodontics seeking advanced veneer and interdisciplinary training.
What You’ll Learn
Updated veneer protocols: minimally invasive preparation, adhesive workflows, and cementation techniques.
Interdisciplinary integration: combining veneers with orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics for comprehensive care.
Digital smile design: planning and visualizing aesthetic outcomes before treatment.
Material selection: choosing the right ceramic (feldspathic, lithium disilicate, etc.) for each case.
Case‑based lessons: clinical demonstrations of interdisciplinary veneer treatments.
