AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectOther
DescriptionThis session will cover difficult/very difficult cases we all encounter in practice and do not what know what to do or where to start. Multiple issues can occur in patients including toothwear/bruxism, old failing restorations, periodontal disease, edentulous spaces, bone defects, gingival level discrepancies, hopeless teeth, hypodontia and deficiency in their smile aesthetics.
Additional informationA holistic team based approach is now regarded by all as best patient care. The analysis and breakdown of these difficult cases into realistic manageable 'chunks' will be covered as many dentists do not know where to begin or how to approach it.
Numerous examples/evidence of case management for those 'nightmare cases' will be discussed. The goals of this session will be how to maximise aesthetics and function and will virtually involve discussion of all disciplines of restorative dentistry and orthodontics and how they work in harmony. The key components of success will relate to diagnosis, treatment planning and knowing one's limitations both clinically and biologically.

This course is intended for GDPs
