Course IV
Instructor: John C. Kois, DMD, MSD
Biomechanics I: Fundamentals for Cohesively and Adhesively Retained Restorations
The parameters for tooth preparation have become much more complicated. This course will eliminate the confusion about when to use cohesively retained vs adhesively retained restorations and develop predictable parameters for each. Step by step techniques will be described to prepare partial and full coverage preparations, anterior veneer preparations, and posterior bonded porcelain preparations. Tooth preparation surface management, will be discussed to eliminate post-operative sensitivity and create appropriate luting agent selection and bonding protocols. In addition, all the different core materials and ceramic systems will be discussed.
Course Objectives
- Understand functional preparations
- Know the advantages of veneers vs. full coverage restorations
- Understand when to use cohesively retained restorations
- Understand when to use adhesively retained restorations
This course provides 27 continuing education credit hours and includes lecture, demonstration, case presentation and discussion.
