SubjectRestorative dentistry
DescriptionTooth wear is becoming increasingly common in presentation in general primary care practice. Professor Brian Millar and Dr. Fariha Hussain from Kings College London are delivering 12 hours of blended CPD on this topic to help us with understanding management options for our patients. It is a lecture based course as well as offering table top hands on practice of some of the techniques they will discuss and demonstrate. The content is designed to help delegates manage tooth wear in general practice. It will cover management of tooth wear including the use of direct composite, both freehand and matrix driven, as well as indirect material such a zirconia and the management of clenching and bruxism. This course will build on existing knowledge and will be an opportunity to hear about further learning available with Prof. Millar and Dr Hussain at KCL.
