From Case Selection to Bonding

A two-day hands-on masterclass covering the complete porcelain veneer workflow, from case selection, photography, smile design and digital planning through to mock-ups, preparation, provisionalisation, laboratory communication, try-in and final cementation. Develop a predictable, conservative approach while also exploring finishing, maintenance and troubleshooting for long-term success.

Date: Friday 13th - Saturday 14th November

Time: 8:30AM - 5:30PM

Location: The Spencer Hotel, Dublin

OBJECTIVES

By the end of the two days, delegates should have a clear and repeatable workflow for porcelain veneer cases, from the initial consultation through to final cementation and maintenance.

• Improve case selection and identify when porcelain veneers are, and are not, the appropriate treatment

• Develop a structured approach to aesthetic assessment, smile design and treatment planning

• Understand how wax-ups and mock-ups can guide treatment and improve patient communication

• Plan and perform conservative veneer preparations with an emphasis on enamel preservation

• Understand ceramic selection and how the underlying substrate influences the final result

• Improve provisionalisation, impression/scanning and laboratory communication

• Develop a predictable protocol for veneer try-in, bonding and cementation

• Understand finishing, maintenance and the management of common complications
