INDIRECT AESTHETICS
17th – 20tH MARCH 2025
An intensive 4-day Indirect Aesthetics program focused on the key pillars of modern dentistry:
Occlusion, Morphology, Adhesion, and Aesthetics. This course covers the application of these principles in composite and ceramic restorations in both the anterior and posterior sectors. Taught by Peruvian Doctor Stefano Cossar, a passionate educator and specialist in Occlusion and Morphology, who has been sharing his knowledge of conservative dentistry for 14 years across 22 countries.
Introduction
Indirect Aesthetics refers to the art and science of creating highly functional and visually pleasing dental restorations that are fabricated outside the mouth and later bonded to the teeth. This approach combines advanced materials, such as ceramics and composite resins, with cutting-edge technology, like CAD/CAM systems, to achieve precise and durable results. Indirect restorations, including veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns, are especially valuable for enhancing the esthetics of anterior teeth and restoring the function of posterior teeth. By focusing on adhesion, occlusion, and natural morphology, indirect aesthetics helps dental professionals deliver restorative solutions that seamlessly integrate with the patient’s natural dentition, ensuring both beauty and long-term success.
OCCLUSION
Understand the ideal dental relationships in the anterior and posterior sectors, focusing on achieving efficient masticatory function and, consequently, harmonious aesthetics.
MORPHOLOGY AT AN ANATOMIST LEVEL
• Master the morphology and sacred geometry of the anterosuperior teeth, premolars, and molars through:
• Digital Sculpture
• Wax Up
• Modeling Composites
ADHESION
• Optimize the adhesion strength for different substrates: intact enamel, cut enamel, vital and non-vital dentin, fiber-reinforced composite, and lithium disilicate.
• Master absolute isolation techniques in the anterior and posterior sectors, including tips and tricks to achieve adhesion without the presence of moisture.
AESTHETICS
Achieve optical integration of resin and ceramic restorations by incorporating the maximum number of details to replicate natural dental architecture.
