Masterclass in Veneering
(New Concepts of Adhesive Aesthetic Rehabilitation)
13th – 15TH february 2026
Course Summary
Aesthetic & cosmetic dentistry has tremendously shift how patients perceive dentistry which used to be a taboo for only disease, pain and the need to seek treatment only when necessary. The increase in demand for a more comprehensive treatment in improving one’s appearance has become one of the main requests from patients in dentistry.
With the new advances in adhesive, restorative and aesthetic for the past few years, clinicians more often than not are always boggled with the options for a more effective and efficient treatment planning. Many factors come into the role of determining which option is feasible, possible and able to provide function optimally.
In this 3-day comprehensive course, Dr Nurul and Dr Army Empol will be hand-in-hand providing you with the understanding of laminate veneers, adhesive and cases selection, options of direct veneers or indirect veneers, understanding the failures of veneers, the importance of functional occlusion and optimising your skills and treatment execution to minimise unnecessary complications throughout the treatment process.
Learning Objectives:
• Aesthetic Analysis and Smile Design from analogue to digital planning.
• Applying Aesthetic rules in clinical action.
• Able to determine the possibility to opt for direct minimally invasive treatments to apply to Aesthetic Smile design.
• Apply basic dental photography into dentalaesthetic work.
• Learn the importance of moisture control and isolation in dental aesthetic work. (Hands-on excluded)
• Able to do shade matching effectively.
• Able to do selection between different types of ceramics.
• The importance of occlusion in treatment planning.
• Adhesion step by step including the importance of surface treatment.
• Dental veneers from planning to cementation.
