Diastema Closure: Mastering Diastema Mediale, Multiple Diastemas And Peg Laterals

Date: 05 May 2018

Location: Media Rotana, Barsha Heights, Dubai, UAE

Target Audience: Dentists

Accreditation: 7 CE

Course Description

The course will cover the necessary knowledge to know what to do when spaces are present in the anterior region. First, the participants will evaluate the model and plan how to prepare, if necessary. Afterwards, they will prepare the teeth and then they will have to restore them one by one keeping the proportions. Several techniques for closing diastemas will be shown. The pulling technique, the reverse pulling technique, the FEM technique and the Wing technique will be explained in detail. The Hands-on will finish with the demonstration of finishing and polishing.

All the steps will be shown by the instructor with an HD camera with high magnification for the explanation of all the details.

Course Objectives

The participants will learn:

How to manage the proportions
How to diagnose a case with Bolton discrepancy
How to layer composites to close diastemas
About different novel techniques for the anterior region
How to finish composites when diastemas were closed
