Restorative Case Discussions & Treatment Planning
One-to-one time with both Dr. Stewart and Dr. Edward.
natural details
The subtlety and beauty can be recreated time and time again with direct composite without increasing appointment times. Learn purposeful use of the selected composites and their impact on the final result.
micro-layering post alignment and whitening by Dr. Edward Li
undetectable camouflage and masking by Dr. Stewart Beggs
layer by layer
See how the natural forms and desired results emerge from well-controlled and implemented layers. Learn to pre-visualise the end-point before clinical treatment begins.
silhouette control & symmetry creation by Dr. Edward Li
restoration of contact point & anatomy by Dr. Stewart Beggs
creative solutions
Mastering the handling properties of composite and pre-visualising appointments allow for wider treatment solutions to be offered that may not have previously been accessible to the patient.
restorative space closure by Dr. Edward Li
DB cusp rebuild along with back-to-back by Dr. Stewart Beggs
restorative sequence
Learn to plan the full picture for an integrated appointment sequence, removing complexities and stress from appointments.
anterior proportion creation by Dr. Edward Li
direct & indirect quadrant sequence by Dr. Stewart Beggs
Dr. Edward Li and Dr. Stewart Beggs share their refined insights and clinical workflow, offering a masterclass in replicating and enhancing nature’s beauty.
This intensive two-day course is designed to deliver the most impactful knowledge in the artistry of direct resin restorations for both anterior and posterior teeth.
Gain a fundamental skill set that serves as daily building blocks for transformative patient treatments.
