Back to the Future: Feldspathic Veneers & Zirconia Layering Techniques
Full monolithic zirconia with external stain technique is one of the popular preference techniques used today. There are many selections of multi-layered zirconia disks and blocks available in the market, which enable dental technicians to produce faster and more esthetic results. When it comes to anterior fabrication, however, full monolithic is not always the best option to process the case. There are many varieties; unique translucencies and characterization that can be seen naturally, making it nearly impossible to achieve with just an external stain technique. That is to say, in order to achieve a natural and lifelike fabrication, a layering technique must be done. This lecture will speak about all ceramic layering technique with current technology of digital tools and how these technologies may be able to assist us.

Soft Tissue for Pontic Implant Sites in the Esthetic Area
Dental implants have become a common treatment in the dental office. If the clinician wants to achieve an optimal functional and esthetic result it is not enough to emulate the white portion of the teeth. A natural appearance of the implant-supported rehabilitation will depend also on the quantity and quality of the soft tissues surrounding the fixed prostheses. When multiple teeth have been lost or have to be extracted, soft tissue grafting around pontic sites and implants becomes paramount for the long-term success of the treatment. How to shape those tissues with the temporary restoration should be well understood as well. This lecture explains the importance of soft tissue grafting techniques around pontic sites and implants and how to do it in a predictable, modern and a minimally invasive way. We present many different techniques illustrated with clinical cases.

GPs: Best Suited to Deliver Orthodontics?
Many dentists are frustrated they were taught to refer the most profitable procedures, such as orthodontics, to specialists. GPs can deliver excellent orthodontics, delighting their patients. Research confirms that a patient’s satisfaction with orthodontic care is universally good whether treated by a specialist or GP. This course highlights advantages GP offices have for providing orthodontics in our digital era using an orthodontic specialist driven collaborative platform. The course outlines a formalized method of support, communication and on-demand education. We provide easy to understand rules for the dentist to choose patients with the most predictable problems to treat. 

Free Gingival Grafts - Return of the Mack
Clinicians are often encountered with soft tissue deficiencies which can compromise the long term stability of both natural teeth and dental implants. Subsequently, correct diagnosis of the nature of these deficiencies is critical in determining the appropriate treatment approach required. This lecture will focus on clinical decision making when utilizing connective tissue graft-based procedures versus free gingival grafting and apically positioned flap procedures in the treatment of gingival phenotype deficiencies around teeth and implants.
