Interceptive Treatment of Tooth Wear with Minimally Invasive Adhesive Restorations: A Breakthrough in a Global Treatment Approach to Manage Erosion, Abrasion and Attrition Pathologies
00v jConvf4 HD
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 ceramics and 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.

The most Complete and Evidence-based Program of its Kind

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!

Dr. Robert Lamb and his team at IDEA embody that same elevation of the Continuing Dental Education experience to its highest level. In the description of his organization’s dedication to excellence, Wynton Marsalis (Artistic Director: Jazz at Lincoln Center) said, “We choose to live under the banner of quality and not mediocrity”.

Everything about IDEA’s Mission and its performance speak to that theme, not only for our work, but for how we choose to live every day!  THANK YOU to Bob Lamb and the whole IDEA Team, …keep on!!”

If you haven’t been to a class taught by Didier Dietschi you are really missing out on a plethora of dental knowledge.
If you have a question about materials, methods, or techniques he will definitely know the answer.
Most of the cases he shows are not ideal. They are what most dental practitioners would find in their day-to-day work. Lots of his cases come from teaching at the university where cost is an issue. He has basically taken composite to a whole new level to give patients an option to rival porcelain if they have limited finances.
Didier is kind and approachable. All dentists, no matter what stage you are at in your career, can benefit from his classes. He is a master!

Frequently Asked Questions

This course is ideal for General Practitioners, Pediatric Dentists, and Orthodontists who want to expand their expertise in early prevention orthodontics. Whether you plan to treat young patients directly or refer them appropriately, the course equips you with the knowledge to make accurate diagnostic decisions and initiate early treatment when necessary.

Unlike traditional orthodontics, which often focuses on visible signs and delayed intervention, this course introduces a functional, evidence-based approach centered around Sato’s Craniomandibular Orthodontics. It emphasizes early diagnostics, physiological mandibular positioning, and vertical dimension control to guide natural growth and reduce the need for surgery or extractions later on.
The course is focused on treating children of any age—from early milk dentition through mixed dentition stages. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of dental and skeletal malocclusion and implement treatment at the right developmental stage.

This treatment concept is effective in managing a wide range of malocclusions and issues such as:

  • Class II and III Malocclusions

  • Crossbites

  • Mandibular Lateral Displacement (MLD)

  • High or Low Angle Skeletal Growth Patterns

  • TMJ Disorders in children
    By addressing these issues early, the approach significantly reduces the need for future orthognathic surgery and premolar extractions.

After the course, you’ll gain:

  • A new, efficient treatment concept that avoids removable appliances and prioritizes functional diagnostics

  • Evidence-based techniques that support skeletal and dental development

  • Enhanced ability to protect the TMJ and improve overall physical health

  • Immediate tools to implement early orthodontic treatment and become a leading provider in your area for pediatric dental care
