Smile Makeover with Ceramic Veneers: DSD, Mock-Up, and Preparation. Seminar + Demonstration Masterclass by Alessandro Conti. "VIP" option

Modern aesthetic dentistry requires more than creating beautiful restorations — it requires a structured approach that integrates diagnosis, digital planning, material science, and precise clinical execution to achieve predictable and long-lasting results.

This comprehensive seminar with Dr. Alessandro Conti provides a complete workflow for ceramic veneer treatment, guiding clinicians through every stage of the smile makeover process — from facial analysis and Digital Smile Design (DSD) to material selection, mock-up protocols, adhesive cementation strategies, and advanced preparation techniques.

During the seminar, you will learn about:

— Comprehensive treatment planning protocols for ceramic veneer cases
— Facial analysis and Digital Smile Design (DSD) principles for creating harmonious smile designs
— Integration of facial references into aesthetic treatment planning
— Wax-up and mock-up protocols for treatment visualization and patient acceptance
— Selection of ceramic materials according to clinical requirements
— Adhesive cementation protocols for ceramic restorations
— Advanced ceramic veneer preparation techniques:
 

- Buccal reduction
- Incisal reduction
- Proximal reduction
- Proximal groove preparation
- Proximal slice preparation.

By combining digital planning, aesthetic principles, material knowledge, and preparation protocols, this course will provide clinicians with a complete approach to creating predictable ceramic veneer restorations that achieve the ideal balance between aesthetics, biology, and function.

Program

Day 1

Theory (March 11)

— Treatment planning and material selection
— Photography in the anterior area and face
— Digital Smile Design (DSD) and facial references:
 

- Bipupillary line
- Midline
- Lip lines
- Other facial parameters.
 

— Selection of restorative materials:
 

- LiSi
- Feldspathic ceramics
- Stratified ceramics
- Painted ceramics
- CAD-CAM materials.
 

— Mock-up and wax-up preview with additional dual composite as an easy approach for patient acceptance of the treatment plan:
 

- From digital analysis to the model
- Wax-up (analog wax-up or digital wax-up)
- Dual composite mock-up for aesthetic preview and preparation control.
 

— Adhesive cementation protocols: composite vs ceramic:
 

- Tooth conditioning
- Ceramic conditioning
- Adhesive selection
- Luting agent selection.
 

— Ceramic veneer preparation protocols:
 

- Buccal reduction
- Incisal reduction
- Proximal reduction: proximal groove preparation, slice proximal preparation.

Day 2

Demonstration Masterclass: VIP Participants Only (March 12)
Format: Observer

— Preparation for ceramic veneers: 
 

- Prep of a central incisor with proximal groove approach
- Prep of a central incisor with proximal slice approach.
