2 SEATS AVAILABLE! Veneers in the APT concept. Workshop with Galip Gurel

Workshop from the guru of aesthetic dentistry Galip Gurel in Istanbul!

The course includes a theoretical part, in which you together with the lecturer will study:

– a detailed protocol for the preparation of teeth, including an analysis of the burs used

– rules for working with gingiva

– creation of analog and digital mock-up

– step-by-step protocol for creating Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries (APT)

– planning an individual smile design 

– step-by-step protocol for creating, fixing and finishing indirect restorations.

And on the practical part, you will be able to work out the knowledge gained in theoretical sessions.
