  Friday - All day

Dr. Pascal Magne, DMD, MSc, PhD

Bonded restorations in the anterior dentition

Summary of the lecture   The combination of both composites and ceramics seems theoretically  appropriate to reproduce the original stiffness of the tooth and modulate the tooth-restoration strength.   Therefore, modern concepts in restorative dentistry have brought new solutions through bonded porcelain restorations  (BPRs) that are stress distributors and involve the crown of the tooth as a whole in supporting occlusal force  and masticatory function.   Among these, the good overall clinical behavior of anterior porcelain laminate veneers bonded tooth in terms of fracture rates, microleakage, debonding and soft tissue response is generally well recognized and attested by numerous clinical studies.   Continuous developments in the field of adhesive restorative techniques have permitted significant broadening of the originally-defined spectrum of indications for BPRs in the anterior dentition and thus contribute to two of the major objectives of conservative restorative dentistry: the maximum preservation of sound tooth structure and the maintenance of the vitality of the teeth to be restored.   Indications for BPRs are extending to more perilous situations (worn-down, nonvital or crown-fractured teeth), resulting in considerable improvements, comprising both the medical-biological aspect and the socio-economical context (ie, decrease of costs when compared to traditional and more invasive prosthetic treatments). From this perspective, indications, treatment planning, diagnostics, tooth preparation, laboratory procedures and adhesive luting procedures of BPRs will be carefully detailed.

During the lecture the delegates will learn:     • Definition of Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry   • Evolution of indications for bonded ceramic restorations: new scientific evidences & Diagnostic approach   • Tooth preparation: step by step rationale and immediate dentin bonding.   • Luting procedures: step-by-step rationale and finishing.        TESTEMONIAL   There are a great many top aesthetic and perfect dentists speaking on how to achieve beautiful and aesthetic results with our patients   - and then there is Pascal Magne.   It is exceptional and extraordinary that DentaNet has managed to have him come and lecture at the annual DentaNet Symposium.   The first of many times I have heard him speak was at the annual meeting of the International College of Dentists (ICD) 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Among other things Pascal is emphasizing the co-operation between dental technician and dentist necessary to achieve the wanted high end result and I believe it will be an eye-opener for a lot of us.   Today Pascal lives in the USA and when he comes to Europe he is a must see and must hear for anyone who is interested in increasing their aesthetic knowledge and insights in high skilled dentistry.     Dr. Henrik Harmsen, Denmark, ICD 2013 President-elect

About the speaker   Dr. Pascal Magne   Dr. Pascal Magne is an Associate Professor with Tenure and the Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation Professor of Esthetic Dentistry in the Division of Restorative Sciences, University of Southern California.   Dr. Magne graduated from the University of Geneva Dental School, Switzerland, in 1989 with a Med. Dent. Obtained his Doctorate in 1992 and his Ph.D. degree in 2002.   He received postgraduate training in fixed prosthodontics and occlusion, operative dentistry and endodontics, and was a lecturer at the same university beginning in 1989 until 1997. From 1997-1999, he was a Visiting Associate Professor at the Minnesota Dental Research Center for Biomaterials and Biomechanics, University of Minnesota, School of Dentistry.   After concluding two years of research, Dr.Magne returned to University of Geneva Dental School and assumed the position of Senior Lecturer in the Division of Fixed Prosthodontics and Occlusion until his departure for USCSD in February 2004.   He is also the author of around 200 clinical and research publications on esthetics and adhesive dentistry and is an internationally known lecturer on these topics. Furthermore, Dr. Magne authored the book Bonded Porcelain Restorations in the Anterior Dentition - A Biomimetic Approach which has been translated into eleven languages and is considered as one of the most outstanding books in the field of adhesive and esthetic dentistry.

Saturday Morning

Dr.Marcus Striegel and Dr. Thomas Schwenk

Red and white harmony – a minimal invasive approach

Summary of the lecture In this lecture Dr.Schwenk and Dr.Striegel will talk about how you create a perfect smile by using minimum invasive techniques in daily practice.   In the esthetic dentistry of today it is very important to care about the pink esthetics aswell.   Dr.Schwenk and Dr. Striegel are the inventors of the minimum invasive (flapless) crown lengthening technique.   This method will by shown to you and is easy to learn.   In addition they will show you some other minimum invasive techniques that will improve your daily esthetic results.         Dr. Marcus Striegel

At the end of the presentation the delegates will have knowledge of: how to design a perfect smile how to minimize iatrogen defects the flapless minimum invasive crown lengthening technique. magnetic orthodontic treatment - a matter for all dentists. the most important rules for the red/white interface        Before    After

About the speakers Dr. Schwenk and Dr. Striegel finished University in Erlangen/Germany in 1990 and 1992.   They are owners of one of the biggest dental offices all over Germany. Both are certified specialists for esthetic dentistry (DGÄZ).   They have lectured nationally and internationally since 1998 and have published many articles on esthetic dentistry, function and restaurative dentistry.   Both are fellows of many national and international academies.              Dr. Thomas Schwenk

 Saturday Afternoon

Dr.Tif Qureshi

The Dahl Principle

Incisal Edge Bonding- an Alternative To Preparo-Mental Dentistry?

Summary of the lecture   In this lecture, Dr. Tif Qureshi, President of the BACD, will talk about how he uses the Dahl principle day to day in restorative dentistry.   Tif will show how the Dahl Principle can be used as an interceptive treatment combined with traditional occlusal theory to prevent the need for more aggressive tooth preparation in your patients, either now or years down the line.   The Dahl principle is a radically different approach to traditional occlusal techniques and will certainly give you something to think about!       Dr. Tif Qureshi		At the end of the presentation the delegates will have knowledge of: • The History of Dahl Principle and the Dahl Concept   • The Loss of occlusal space   • Modern uses with minimally invasive dentistry   • The setup of guidance   • One stage vs. two stage treatment   • Incisal edge bonding techniques and materials   • Multiple Case studies   • Use with Alignment, bleaching and bonding techniques		About the speakers   Tif Qureshi qualified from Kings College London in 1992. He is the current 2012 President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is a partner at Dental Elegance in Sidcup, Kent where he practices minimally invasive cosmetic and restorative dentistry.   Tif has a special interest in simple orthodontics using removable appliances and was the first dentist in the UK to pioneer the Inman Aligner and is Clinical Director of Straight-talks Seminars the only official providers of the Inman Aligner certification course.   Tif also pioneered the technique of combined alignment bleaching and bonding (ABB) and is has been a major force in developing the concept of progressive smile design. He also employs the use of composite to enhance truly minimally invasive dentistry and is a very experienced user of the Dahl principle.   He now lectures nationally and internationally and has had many articles published on these subjects.   Tif is also a highly active member of the MICD movement. Tif is also a Fellow of the International Academy of Facial and Dental Esthetics.
