occlusal wear interceptive treatment of teeth

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!
