Reasons to attend this Hands-on Course

This course will be an intense lecture and hands-on experience for all practitioners wishing to upgrade their skills in posterior bonded restorations using direct, semi-(in) direct and indirect techniques. The growing demand of patients for aestheti or metal-free restorations, together with the ongoing interest of the dental profession for tissue-preserving materials have led to the development of posterior adhesive restorations. It is now clearlu established that a new biomimetic approach to restorative dentistry is possible through the structured use of “tooth-like” restorative materials, such as composite resins and porcelain and the use of hard tissue bond, such as enamel and dentin bonding. Scientific studies and clinical evidence have validated the use of bonded tooth-coloured restorations. We have entered the “post-amalgam era”. This course will present the foundations of this evolution.

Discover the bonded approach to posterior restorations What to expect:

Based on maximum tissue preservation and the “biomimetic principle” (biomechanics) a model for the optimal use of current restorative systems will be presented using scientific evidence and clinical experience.

This advanced hands-on course will emphasize on:

Fabrication of direct, semi-direct and indirect CAD/CAM restorations.
Advantages of bonded restorations over traditional approaches.
The biomimetic principle.
Dentin bonding protocol: rationale for an immediate dentin sealing
Preparation design; Principles of tooth preparation for bonded restorations.
Luting procedures for bonded restorations.
All about for composite restorations and layering techniques.
Preparation and fabrication of class II, and onlay restorations.

Dr. Pascal Magne

Dr. Pascal Magne was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) in 1966. He grew up and followed his primary education in Neuchâtel then moved to Geneva where he graduated in dentistry in 1989 and completed a Doctoral Thesis in 1992. He taught and continued his postgraduate education in Prosthodontics and Operative Dentistry at the University of Geneva until 1997. Awarded with major grants by the Swiss Science Foundation, the Swiss Foundation for Medical-Biological Grants, and the International Association for Dental Research, he spent two years as a full-time research scholar in Biomaterials and Biomechanics at the University of Minnesota between 1997 and 1999. Back at the University of Geneva, he received his PhD degree in 2002 and served as Senior Lecturer from 1999 to 2004. Since February 2004, he became Associate Professor at the University of Southern California (USC, Los Angeles) where he also serves as Director of the Center for Esthetic Dentistry. He is the author of the textbook -- "Bonded Porcelain Restorations" (Quintessence Publishing, 2002), as well as clinical and research articles on esthetics and adhesive dentistry and is frequently invited to lecture on these topics.
