Course Fee: 2,200AED (598.97$)

Course Aim

• Awareness of the materials available for Inlays/ Onlays
• Understand the cavity design
• Identify the ‘bulk’ of material required for strength
• Appreciation of the retentive/resistance form required
• Provide an armamentarium to produce these preparations
• Introduce the ‘Hollow’ ground chamfer
• Identify where to place the preparation margins
• Define the rational for onlay or inlay preparation

Course Objectives

At the end of this course delegates should be able to:

• Identify the materials available for Inlay/ Onlay restorations
• Understand the preparation design through an appreciation of material choice
• Produce preparations which demonstrate the correct divergence and provide retention/ resistance form
• Illustrate how the correct use of chamfer bur will produce round internal line angles
• Demonstrate the correct placement and application of the Hollow ground chamfer
• Place preparation margins with an awareness of tooth contact points
• Gain an appreciation of when to extend an Inlay preparation to an Onlay preparation
• Identify the criteria for prescribing a material of choice
• Describe the bonding/ cementation rational for a given material

Course Topics

• Divergence angle
