About the Course
Day 1: CORE 1 Lecture (Webinar)
Fixed tooth-supported restorations, such as post and cores, crowns and bridges, are designed to replace or restore damaged or missing teeth with predictable prosthesis. The fundamental principles guiding these restorations ensure their effectiveness, longevity, and comfort. The following principles will be discussed in detail.
Expectations & Goals
Biological Principles
Preservation of Tooth Structure: maintain tooth structure for strength and vitality
Periodontal Health: Precision of fit and long-term maintenance. Optimal Periodontal Health
Occlusal Considerations: Restorations in harmony with natural occlusion
Margin Adaptation and Material Selection: Seamless marginal adaptation
Mechanical Principles
Retention and Resistance form (RR form): Restoration designs to meet the RR form.
Esthetic Principles
Aesthetic Integration: Seamless integration with surrounding natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and contour.
Proportions and Alignment: Attention to detail for restorations harmony and alignment with white and pink.
Functional and technical (Lab) Principles
Occlusal Harmony & Efficiency: Effective functional guidance for predictable mutually protected occlusion.
Accuracy in Preparation and Ceramic selection: Attention to detail in tooth preparation, impression for post and cores, crowns and bridges, clinical protocols for posts and crowns.
Proper Fabrication: New trends in digital planning and effective lab communication.
Patient-Centered / Treatment Planning Principles
Informed Consent/Communication: Effective patient communication. Post Treatment care.
Course Objectives
For successful and predictable fixed tooth-supported restorations for durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing results.
