Elements of Design - Natural Anterior

Course Description

This two and a half day course stresses that successful duplication of existing natural dentition requires careful analysis of surrounding dentition, then incorporating that information into a design and restorative plan.

To replicate natural tooth structure, equal attention should be given to basic tooth shade, color nuance, value, translucency as well as proper tooth shape and surface texture-luster.

This course will focus on matching natural dentition while incorporating today’s new materials and technologies.

Learning Objectives 

• Evaluate  pressed ceramic, zirconia or metal restorations.       
• Plan framework design for strength and esthetics.
• Identify the Culp classification for anterior tooth shape.
• Sequence the six steps for creating anterior tooth shape.
• Discover techniques for finishing and glazing.
