SubjectRestorative dentistry
DescriptionThis blended learning course covers the aetiology and management of all types of tooth wear, from diagnosis and prevention through monitoring and management. Techniques for intervention use the latest range of adhesive aesthetic materials as well as traditional methods. Hands-on sessions in the clinical skills lab include tooth build-ups with a range of direct and indirect techniques. Teaching covers the management of sensitivity, aesthetics and function as well as occlusal change in vertical and horizontal dimensions. Splints are discussed then made and adjusted in the hands-on table top session. The blended learning includes 6 hours of CPD via webinars and comprehensive course notes in advance of a 6 hour CPD practical day held at the Exeter Dental Education Facility. The course is for 2 small groups so there will be plenty of opportunity for practice and discussion. Please see the programme for more details.
Additional information

The webinar and course notes will be made available to delegates 1 month before the hands on practical day.
