We have more people living longer, and keeping more teeth which are wearing away. In essence, people desiring to stay, and look, young while their teeth are prematurely aging. In this webinar, the causes for this will be addressed, with an examination of how we can re-establish vertical opening, lip support, and general function in a very cost-effective way. Participants will gain insight on the best materials, techniques, and tips for delivering this wonderful service to our patients.
Each participant will learn:
- How to get the case ready from the first impressions.
- How to deliver the wax-up or model transfer to the patient.
- How to polish and cosmetically restore the transferred restorations.
- How to establish a better occlusion and function while the patient is in a new holding pattern.
Presenter: Michael Miyasaki, D.D.S. CE Credits: 1 CEU
This webinar will show the steps that should be considered when doing multiple anterior restorations. The advantage of doing multiple units is that it sometimes allows us to make changes to the occlusion and aesthetics, but multiple unit cases can require more planning. This webinar will review the first part of planning a large case from the examination, and the preparation considerations for efficient treatment that any practitioner can implement. This presentation will be packed with ideas you won’t want to miss and will even make your single unit cases easier and more predictable.
Learning Objectives:
- See how the comprehensive examination allows us to evaluate our starting point and our patient’s expectations developing our target
- Review how to look at the occlusion and how to change it when needed using bioelectric diagnostic equipment, tooth movement and orthotics
- See how to fabricate acrylic overlays, make traditional impressions and quickly temporize using techniques that you can apply right away

Today’s composite resins allow the aesthetic dentist limitless creativity in recreating human dentate form. At the core of every aesthetic dental restoration is tooth morphology… nature’s combination of elevations, depressions, opacities, and translucencies that collectively produce functional and aesthetic beauty.
In this webinar course, Dr. Lowe will discuss and demonstrate techniques to create morphologically precise and beautifully aesthetic direct anterior and posterior composite restorations. Simplifying placement without compromizing restorative quality is the goal for all direct restorative procedures. The use of different aesthetic materials in combination with finishing techniques will enable simple, yet “world class” placement of state of the art restorations for your patients tomorrow!
Some of the topics that will be covered include:
- To teach a simple, reproducible technique to create accurate and aesthetic tooth morphology in composite resin for anterior and posterior teeth.
