Workshop from the guru of aesthetic dentistry Galip Gurel in Istanbul!

The course includes a theoretical part, in which you together with the lecturer will study:

– a detailed protocol for the preparation of teeth, including an analysis of the burs used

– rules for working with gingiva

– creation of analog and digital mock-up

– step-by-step protocol for creating Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries (APT)

– planning an individual smile design

– step-by-step protocol for creating, fixing and finishing indirect restorations.

And on the practical part, you will be able to work out the knowledge gained in theoretical sessions.

The program of the workshop could be slightly altered, if the lecturer acknowledges the necessity of such alteration to benefit the attendees.

The event will take place at: "Fairmont Quasar Istanbul", Büyükdere Caddesi, 76 B Mecidiyeköy, Istanbul.

Day 1

Morning session

Basic introduction to the APT concept

– The story of APT (Aesthethic Pre-evaluative Temporaries)

– The story of the silicone indexes

– The story of the preparation through the APT technique

– Basic analog workflow for the anterior bonded porcelain restorations

– Video of a live recorded case.

Tooth Preparation by Dr. Gurel (video demonstration)

– Designing the smile

– Mock-up - Wax-up

– Preparing silicone indexes in the lab or chair side

– Analyzing the smile with the indexes

– Aesthetic pre-recontouring- APR (if needed)

– Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries - APT

– Evaluation of the aesthetics through APT

– Evaluation of occlusion through APT

– Evaluation of phonetics through APT

– Tooth preparation through the APT

– Using depth cutters

– Using extra fine diamond burs

– Finishing the margins

– Utilizing the loops and microscope

– Customising your Arkansas stone burs for finalising gingival margin preparations

– Using the softlex paper discs during the preparation

– Handling exposed dentin at time of preparation

– Impression making using retraction cords (if needed)

– Provisionals (discussing different techniques depending on different indications)

– Rechecking the provisionals for aesthetics, functions, and phonetics.

Afternoon session

– Importance of the mock up (analog/digital)

– Presenting the case to the patient - the direct mock up

– The mock up as the navigator

– The mock up as the diagnostic tool

– Classification and different types of direct mock up

– The Art of the Personalized Smile Design

– Different personalities, different choices

– Personality traits (Hippocrates)

– Different cultures, religions, backgrounds, traditions however a single universal VISUAL LANGUAGE (Carl Jung)

– Understanding the basic shapes and their perception

– Difference between looking and seeing

– Analysis of the face and its perception

– Analysis of the personality

– Research amongst the dentists about perception

– How to relate the Visual language and the shapes, to the facial anatomy and personality

– How to clinically apply the technique.

All you have to do is to make a very simple mockup ONLY on the CENTRALS and make a full face picture of the patient. Digitally scan intraorally, and send the 3D STL file to the digital wax up center. Within less than an hour the 3D STL file of the New Smile design proposal will arrive.

Then will be 3D printed to be ready for the second day.

– Tooth preparation through the APT

– Using depth cutters

– Using different diamond burs

– Finishing the margins

– Modifying the translucent silicon impression for the provisionals

– Making the provisionals using RSVP technique

– Rechecking the provisionals for aesthetics.

Afternoon session

– Bonding - adhesives

– Update on Dental adhesives

– Try-In

– Whether or not to use the rubber dam

– Surface treatment of the prepared tooth surface

– Surface treatment of the intaglio surface of the porcelain restoration

– Seating the porcelain restoration

– Bonding the Porcelain Laminate Veneers

– Light curing (Technique for the minimum invasive margin cleaning)

– Final Cleaning (burs or ?)

– Checking the aesthetics, occlusion.
