LONDON, UK 2013 - DENTAL EROSION: RESTORATIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE WORN DENTITION

               

 FRIDAY MARCH 22, 8.30am - 5.00pm CHANDOS HOUSE, LONDON

Join Dr Andrea Shepperson as she discusses the increasing challenge faced by general dentists with restorative management of dental erosion. This programme covers the diagnosis, etiology and restorative options for managing the worn dentition.

Discover how to expand your services to include a comprehensive service for patients showing evidence of erosive wear.

EARLY BIRD RATE EXTENDED TO MARCH 10

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the differential diagnoses of wear.
  • What does erosive wear look like?
  • The implications of enamel loss on cusps - how does it impact an anterior tooth relationship.
  • Conservative options for enamel replacement.
  • Multidisciplinary care - working with a gastro-enterologist.
  • Planning an increase in OVD - what records do I need?
  • Using composite as a transitional restorative material in the arch rehabilitation of the worn dentition.
  • Articulators, facebows and wax ups - why do I need them.
  • A healthy occlusion - what does it look like?

Each of these cases could present on a daily basis in your office.  Each has a unique challenge in terms of meeting the patient's restorative needs.  Each case was treated differently and three of the four cases involved an increase in occlusal vertical dimension.

To find out how to systematically approach each case with a successful and stable outcome, attend this meeting.   Expand the services in your office by focusing on erosive tooth wear.  Develop strategies for prevention with your hygiene team and learn the verbal skills to discuss complex treatment needs with patients.

Dr Shepperson covers the diagnosis, case planning and stepwise predictability for dealing with each case and more.  Conservative minimally invasive restorative options are presented, using both composite resin and ceramic.  Treatment options consider patient constraints such as time, money and desire for lengthy and complex care.  In all cases the patient has a clear understanding of the limitation of each treatment option, as well as the lifestyle changes required to mitigate the risk of further damage.

A course not to be missed.
