Adhesive Posterior Restorations: Function, Biomechanics and Esthetics in Synergy
All What Matters for Long-Term Success with Direct and Indirect Techniques
October 22 - 25, 2025
Course Overview
This dental course on bonded posterior restorations features all aspects of tooth-colored direct and indirect restorative protocols as well as the specific aspects of bio-mechanically fragilized teeth, like cracked teeth and non-vital teeth.
Reliable Success for Posterior Adhesive Dentistry using Clear Protocols
Esthetic Restorative Dentistry, also known as biomimetics – is the clinical application and concept of minimally invasive dentistry and restoring teeth according to their natural properties ensuring biomechanical behavior, function and esthetics to the highest satisfaction for your patients, and successful treatment outcomes for yourself.
Dentistry is way beyond the “post amalgam” era, and full crowns are an age old historical treatment. Today, state-of-the art- in dentistry means bonded, adhesive dentistry, and additive rather than reductive.
This dental course represents the evolution of today’s state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry based on scientific evidence and dental clinical experience. To upgrade your skills in restorations with natural properties, such as biomechanical strength, function, and esthetics, is the goal of this dental course.
Copy Biomechanical, Functional and Esthetic Features of Nature
The dogma of “Extension for Prevention” and “Extension for Retention” is long-time historical. We are practicing additive, rather than reductive dentistry. New preparations of full crowns can be avoided in most cases. Tissue preservation is today’s state-of-the-art treatment approach and highly appreciated by patients.
Chemical adhesion has proven to show predictably long-term success, under one condition, that distinguished protocols and techniques are understood, respected, and applied. Therefore, to achieve the most reliable treatment result in esthetic restorative dentistry, it is best recommended to learn directly from the Master himself, Didier Dietschi.
At IDEA you will be taught by a thought leader in biomimetic dentistry, Didier Dietschi, one of the pioneers of adhesive dentistry, a visionary, innovator, and mentor to many, who looks back to over 35 years of clinical practice in adhesive dentistry.
In his posterior, dental hands-on course, Didier Dietschi will be sharing with you his tremendous experience and long-term clinical follow ups, backed up by science and research, and spiced with the latest developments and innovations for clinical practice.
You will experience a paradigm shift in how to approach teeth, dental materials, preparation design, bonding, cementation, and luting protocols. This course will eliminate the troubles and complications you might experience out of your daily practice of esthetic restorative dentistry
Successful restorations for over 35 years in the mouth of your patients with very little degradation
You will upgrade your skills to achieve predictable and long-term stable treatment results based on reliable bonding protocols, new preparation design, decision when to stay direct and when to go indirect, material selection, based on different ceramics and different composites properties, and all consequent details.
You will leave this dental hands-on course as a technically better and more mindful dentist.

Amazing teacher, amazing course, amazing organization! That is why I keep coming back, it is an amazing journey.
Thank you for bringing dentistry excellence to the US! I was struggling to find answers to my problems, and I appreciate learning from Didier Dietschi who had worked out most of the questions I had. I highly recommended this course to all my dental friends.
Dr. Dietschi's course was extremely comprehensive. As a practitioner, it gives you confidence knowing there is a better care option, for your patients. After completing this course, I feel equipped to provide better adhesive and comprehensive treatment.
Dr. Didier was the strong faculty for posterior restorations I had been missing during my years in practice. Strong research evidence consorted by clinical experience, as well as infectious passion has changed the way I restore dentitions. Thank you for an amazing course and great fun!
Dr. Didier is an excellent teacher, lecturer and clinician! I have learned so much from this course. I am looking forward to implementing these new skills in my practice.
