Indirect Restoration
23rd, 24th & 25th April
Over the past decade, there has been a growing demand for indirect adhesive restorations around the world which can be attributed to the ability to restore dentition using minimally invasive approach and to avoid complications associated with conventional fixed dental prostheses. However, to date, the conventional fixed dental prostheses are still often used as part of simple or complex prosthodontic treatment plan. Therefore, an adoption of both conventional and adhesive approaches is always needed to contribute a reliable and high-quality prosthodontic treatment outcome.

The participants will be given an opportunity to update and improve their clinical skills as well as tips and tricks to provide high-quality fixed prosthodontic works in their daily clinical setting. This course is intended to allow clinicians to consolidate their skills in order to treat prosthodontic cases using both conventional and minimally invasive approaches with confidence.
