Course Overview

Didier Dietschi Tooth Wear

Advanced Adhesive Restorative Dentistry

As dentists see increased bruxing activity in their patients, the amount of tooth destruction in form of abrasion, attrition, and erosion is also rapidly increasing.

Traditional treatment concepts such as full crowns are not only reaching their limits for these defects but often end in fatal failures and therefore are contra-indicated for tooth wear cases.

Tooth wear follows an individual pattern which affects not only different teeth but also leads to different destruction extent. Therefore, tooth wear treatment demands innovative concepts for practical approaches and successful outcomes.

This course is addressed to the modern dentist who wants to raise the bar of patient care with new strategies for all stages of tooth wear from prevention to advanced.

Treatment Requirements – Didier Dietschi:

> Minimal invasive, additive techniques to maintain tooth structure, rather than reducing more

> Biomimetic principles which maintain elasticity module, rather than stiffening teeth

> Biomechanical materials which allow functional adaptation, rather than disturbing it

> Possibility for alterations during the adaptation period

New Perspective on how to Intercept Tooth Wear:

Didier Dietschi will teach you risk and cause factors for tooth wear, their bio-mechanical implications and a detailed and comprehensive treatment approach taking tooth wear extent and patient’s individual dental conditions into account.

Participants will learn:

> Diagnosis and risk factors
> Analog/digital wax-up – treatment planning based on clinical findings

> Esthetic and occluso-functional objectives
> Choice of occlusal position and Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO)
> Material choice by tooth wear extent and wear localization
> Treatment protocols based on individual clinical situation
> Maintenance and renewing protocols
> Nightguard and prevention of tooth wear progression
> Decades of clinical follow-ups and literature data

Comprehensive Hands-on:

> Partial & full molding techniques, free hand – made easy
> Indirect and CAD-CAM techniques
> Hybrid protocols to combine direct & indirect techniques
> Occlusal defects of any extend, from single cups to full surface
> Shell technique for anterior labial and lingual defects
> Reconstruction of shortened incisal edges – “No Prep” technique
> Protocols for single tooth – quadrant – full mouth

This advanced adhesive restorative course represents a new perspective on how to better intercept tooth wear pathologies and provides you with a true breakthrough in restorative dentistry.

Predictable and Safe Tooth Wear Treatment

After this course, you will be able to offer your patients safe tooth wear treatment, which is not only keeping their remaining tooth structure but also will allow for good adaptation to their new restoration.

A true Breakthrough in Modern Restorative Dentistry!
