Introduction
- The high level of patient acceptance
- Earlier interception
- Easier rehabilitations
- Failures accepted by patients and easy to solve
- The new materials, like the CAD/CAM composite
- Attention to gnathology
- Determination of jaw position with anterior stop
- The different white bites
- The new palatal veneers (Tacos)
- Why patients often have every right to complain
- Why it is dangerous to use subtractive dentistry to check occlusion
- How an additive approach helps treat a wider population
Diagnosis
- Make a differential diagnosis between erosion and parafunction
- Quantify damage and loss of dental structure via incisal edge analysis
- Plan aesthetic and functional outcomes with wax-up and photography
- Identify signs and causes of dental erosion
- Predict erosive damage progression and create a treatment plan
3STEP Protocol Insights
- Understand progressive full-mouth wax-up
- Importance of external mock-up
- Record esthetic and functional outcomes during the mock-up visit
- Analyze anterior contacts, VDO increase, and posterior space
- Use anterior stop as a jig to reconfirm bite at increased VDO
- Follow wax-up progression from esthetics to function
- Explore different white bite options
- Evaluate occlusion after white bite delivery
- Master the 8 steps to check treatment before completing the protocol
- Prepare teeth and seal dentin for palatal veneers
- Bond veneers using the adhesive protocol
- Get familiar with CAD/CAM composite for palatal applications
