Bonded Functional Esthetic Prototypes (BFEP'S) and Anterior and Posterior Etched Ceramic Restorations (ECR's)
This Lecture and demo course will teach participants the laboratory and clinical steps for implementing BFEP’s (bonded functional esthetic prototypes) using a special light-cured structural flowable (that can actually be used for semi-permanent restorations) prior to ECR (veneer) preparation to “trial” the smile for increased predictability of case acceptance. The step-by-step process of 2 different types of ECR preparations based on the esthetically driven desired outcome will be demonstrated and completed by the participants.
Course Description
This Lecture and demo course will teach participants the laboratory and clinical steps for implementing BFEP’s (bonded functional esthetic prototypes) using a special light-cured structural flowable (that can actually be used for semi-permanent restorations) prior to ECR (veneer) preparation to “trial” the smile for increased predictability of case acceptance. The step-by-step process of 2 different types of ECR preparations based on the esthetically driven desired outcome will be demonstrated and completed by the participants.
Course Aim & Objectives
Participants will learn and complete procedures such as:
- Special clear tray techniques and developing clear matrix’s for the BFEP technique
- Bonded diagnostic Functional Esthetic Prototypes using a special high physical property flowable composite
- Minimalistic to no-prep situations
- Preparations for bonded porcelain with a specific emphasis on how to control tooth reduction
- Preparations to close Diasthema’s on one central incisor and peg lateral
- Sealing Dentin using Universal
- Defect Driven posterior Onlay
- Posterior Block-out using structurally flowable. Some call this technique “resin coating”
- Adhesive update and Cementation demo
- “4th Generation 2.0
