13 – 14 NOV 2019
Dr. Thamer M. Theeb B.D.S. MSc. Jb. Dip.

This 2-day course is specifically designed to address how aesthetic analysis can aid the restorative dentist to obtain a natural harmonious smile with a simplified approach. The course combines lectures, hands-on workshop, clinical videos and group discussion secessions. A practical approach using evidence-based dentistry will be applied to discuss specific restorative parameters as they relate to the aesthetic facial and dental analyses for predictable smile design. Various types of Aesthetic concepts will be covered including cosmetic orthodontics, teeth whitening, bonding and adhesion, indirect restorations and dental veneers using practical clinical examples. These treatment options will be discussed regarding their advantages, side effects, and success rates.

The course concentrates in clinical approaches that can aid the clinicians in day-to-day practice. Case scenarios will be presented from a combined restorative / Aesthetic approach to improve the long-term aesthetic and functional outcomes. Finally, a problem-based approaches and failure management and treatment of complex cases will sum up all the information gathered during this program.
