ADA Cell Series Course
December 7, 2007
Brian P. LeSage, DDS, FAACD
To gain predictability in our smile make-over procedures, the dental professional and team must have systems in place. Systems that will be discussed will include treatment planning and verbal skills, preparation, temporization, laboratory communication and final restorative outcome. Emphasis will be placed on veneer restorations. Other items that play into predictability are a thorough understanding of adhesive materials and techniques, color and cementation.
As a result of taking this course, the participant should be able to:

Describe the indications for no prep to conventional preparation for veneers
Discuss five veneer temporary/prototype techniques to cover almost every clinical situation
Develop color and adhesive techniques as needed for indirect all ceramic restorations
Plan and execute smile make-over procedures with more predictability
