The Dawson Academy / Henry Schein Education Initiative
Foundations for Success: Integrating Today’s Technologies for Predictable Results
As patients become more educated to modern dentistry’s advances, their motivation and desire for restorative dentistry is increasing at a dramatic rate. Dentists are now fulfilling these demands, but many are concerned only with the visual impact of the smile, with total disregard to proper occlusion, envelope of function and phonetics, resulting in broken restorations, speech problems and dissatisfied patients.
Learning how to create beautiful smiles that function properly, feel great and provide the longevity people desire is the cornerstone of this course.
What you will learn:
- The importance of a complete examination and thorough diagnosis.
- Why centric relation is the starting point for restorative dentistry, and how to find, verify and record it.
- The critical role of dentist-technician communication and how new technologies are enhancing this vital component of the restorative process.
- The latest on the viability and impact of CAD-CAM and what’s on the horizon.
- How to utilize the functional matrix™ in smile design to create beautiful, stable, comfortable smiles with complete predictability.
- How to utilize provisional restorations to obtain correct function and phonetics.
- The roles and responsibilities of the team in the digital dental practice.
- How to use technology to enhance patient communication and treatment acceptance.
