One-off, Exclusive Event in Australia & New Zealand

For the first time since 2018, Pascal Magne will be back Down-under discussing the the fundamentals of Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (BRD) in this exclusive 2-day Lecture.

100 First Release Tickets Available at Special Price

The lecture will include:

• Differentiating your practice through the integration of Original BRD principles to assure patients the long-term preservation of their teeth
• Helping your patients understand why the original BRD is the “right” way because it is based on mimicking the natural dentition in its biology, function, mechanics and esthetics.
• Making wise choices in material, products, devices, technology and integrating the right methods to faithfully apply BRD in your practice.

Full Scientific Program

Day 1 – Friday 10th April

Morning Session 1 – Biomechanics/Biomaterials:

• Classification, mechanical properties and selection of composite resins, “hybrids”, ceramics, CAD/CAM blocks,
• Introducing short-fiber reinforced composites for bio-bases, dentin-replacement and build-ups.

Morning Session 2 – Adhesives and direct preparations design:

• How to select the proper adhesive strategy for long-term success, foundations of dentin hybridization and IMMEDIATE DENTIN SEALING (IDS)
• Visual aids and magnification.
• Caries detection and caries removal endpoints.
• Armamentarium and tooth preparation principles for anterior and posterior direct resin composites.

Afternoon Session 1 – Semi-(in)direct preparation design:

• Preparations principles based on stress distribution, inlay vs. onlays.
• Occlusal veneers in posterior teeth: “vonlays”, “veneerlays”, “crownlays, and endocrowns.
  Mockup-driven anterior veneer preparation step-by-step.

Afternoon Session 2 – Light polymerization and shrinkage:

• Basics of polymerization and light curing.
• Unrestricted vs. restricted shrinkage.
• Myth and facts about shrinkage-induced stresses.
• V-factor (volume) vs. C-factor (configuration).
• Stress-reduced approaches in direct posterior resin composites.
• Stress visualization through the tube-test.

Day 2 – Saturday 11th April

Morning Session 1 – Luting/Delivery Procedures:

• Choice of resin cements: nominal cements vs. preheated restorative
• Try-in procedures, management of cracked restorations
• Resin composite and ceramic conditioning: chemical and micromechanical bonding though abrasion, etching and silane coupling/ Silane chemistry
• Step-by-step delivery of ceramic veneers and CAD/CAM inlays/onlays
• Post-bonding crack repair by resin-infiltration.

Morning Session 2 – Layering techniques:

• Principles of “sandwich” and bilaminar layering techniques
• Fragment bonding
• Principle of additive layering for optimal esthetics and mechanics
• Freehand vs. guided natural layering in anterior teeth
• Surface texture and finishing
• Bilaminar shade guides and simplified shade selection.

Afternoon Session 1 – CAD/CAM techniques:

• Semi-direct vs. semi-indirect restorations
• Cutback and microlayering with resin composite CAD/CAM
• Cutback and microlayering with e.max CAD: partial vs. total cutback, masking
• Workflow using Dentofacial Digital Diagnostic, Wax-up, Mockup and Biocopy
• Double-milling and natural restoration using extracted teeth

Afternoon Session 2 – Clinical outcomes:

• Maintenance and repairs in BRD
• DEEP MARGIN ELEVATION – DME
• Success rates and clinical studies, pros and cons of clinical research vs. in-vitro research. Long-term follow-ups and conclusions.
