Creating the precision in terms of the preparation, fit and the aesthetic final outcome needs a serious treatment planning which is different for each case… Designing a new smile consists of many steps which are so very important and if followed correctly, produces predictable success. The key to aesthetic excellence requires patient communication as well as communication with the laboratory and the specialists from the beginning of the case till the end.
In today’s dentistry success depends on an interdisciplinary team work. Every member of the team (including the specialists, lab technicians and the patient) should be aware of the treatment planning and the end result from the beginning. Every effort should be spent to bring the teeth to their natural position on the dental arch, hence creating enough space for the restoration to be received so that the aim should be minimum tooth preparation.
After that stage, in order to achieve a very precise and predictable tooth preparation, wax-up, silicon indexes and related techniques such as APR (Aesthetic Pre Recontouring), APT (Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries) and preparation through the APTs are extremely crucial. This eliminates all the possible mistakes and destruction of the depth cutters that could have been done if the tooth was to be prepared without realizing the aging effects on the enamel (volumetric enamel loss) or their inappropriate teeth positions on the dental arch….

1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
The lecture will go through a new way of digital planning. Based upon the planning, there are different treatment options. How predictable are the different protocols? What are the positives and negatives of the digital planning, based on our clinical experience? Can we trust 100% the contemporary digital imaging systems, optical scanners? How predictable is the digital approach to restore teeth and implants and where are the limits? Can we treat worn dentition with aligners and what is role of the orthodontic treatment on complex esthetic rehabilitation? The lecture will answer some of these questions and show how the digital tools changed our thinking in the recent years. A full digital protocol will be presented with a new biological concept for creating and keeping a stable emergence profile. The thin soft tissues lead to increased marginal bone loss compared to thick soft tissues. A new perio-prosthetic way of increasing the biotype will be introduced to increase the soft tissue level around teeth and implants. A new multidisciplinary approach will be presented on treating complex functional and esthetic compromised patients

The goal to create a harmonious “esthetic” outcome around dental implants and teeth that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue condition as well as morphology is indeed difficult to create and maintain long term. In this presentation a comprehensive approach to optimize functional and esthetic results with immediate and delayed implant placement will be discussed by blending surgical, technical, and restorative steps into one successful protocol will be presented thoroughly. Immediate surgical and restorative protocols facilitate superior esthetic and functional success. However, strict guidelines for atraumatic intervention, implant primary stability, bone packing, connective tissue graft and preservation of existing anatomic structures must be carefully followed. Digital planning plays a fundamental role to achieve such a desired result. On the other hand, the subepithelial connective tissue graft (CTG) is a favored option to treat and prevent gingival and peri-implant soft-tissue recessions. It is usually placed in combination with a coronally advanced flap or with an envelope flap or pouch. This lecture will focus on the difference on protocols when it comes to surgical and prosthetic criteria to treat anterior implants using as a volume maintainer only soft tissue grafting procedures. Techniques and tools will be discussed in order to reach such results around anterior implant treatments.
Learning Objectives:
In this one-day lecture, plenty of video life surgeries will be demonstrated to explain basic principles but also tips and tricks on how two achieve optimal pleasing esthetics in immediate, delayed implant treatment protocols and most important how to fix anterior failures on implants and teeth. The session will be very interactive and the participants can discuss directly with the expert.

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
This comprehensive full-day lecture, “It’s All About Light in Dentistry,” provides an immersive journey into the role and evolution of light in the various aspects of dental practice. Beginning with a focus on the emergence of mirrorless cameras and the ubiquitous presence of social media, we delve into the compelling need for standardization in dental photography. We critically examine the challenges and opportunities associated with this shift in technology and discuss strategies for ensuring consistent, high- quality imagery that accurately represents clinical scenarios and outcomes.
We then transition into a comparative discussion of analog versus digital shade-taking techniques, celebrating milestones with the 25th anniversary of Vita 3D master and the 20th anniversary of Vita EasyShade. The session will review the advancements in these systems, the impact on the shade-matching process, and a look at the current state-of-the-art.
The third part of the lecture will illuminate the use of light in dental diagnostics. Moving from the traditional technique of transillumination to the advanced practice of cross-polarized photography, we highlight the transformative role of lighting techniques in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient outcomes.
Finally, we’ll explore the pivotal role of light transmission in the use and effectiveness of dental materials. Emphasizing the importance of esthetic results, we’ll discuss how understanding and leveraging light’s interaction with dental materials can drastically enhance treatment results and patient satisfaction.
Throughout this lecture, attendees will not only gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted role of light in dentistry but also acquire practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied to their practice. Join us for an enlightening day where we uncover the essence of light in shaping the future of dentistry.

Cone Beam Ct Technology: A Must-Have Diagnostic Imaging Modality for Any Modern Dental Practice
9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Artistic and Scientific Principles applied to Diagnosis and Treatment Plans in Esthetics. Gummy Smile Management and Minimally Invasive Techniques in Esthetic Dentistry with Contemporary Technology and Biomaterials
1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Esthetic dentistry is not only a science but an art. This axiom implies that there are principles which sustain your practice. These artistic and scientific principles should be known, understood, and applied to be able to diagnose the esthetic problems and plan the appropriate treatment, in order to have predictable and successful results. This lecture will also discuss how contemporary dentists can offer minimally invasive treatments which allow us to modify the shape of the hard and soft tissues. The combination of surgical lip repositioning with periodontal plastic surgery yields highly effective results in the treatment of gummy smiles. The combined technique can be considered as an alternative option to more invasive procedures.
In the case of hard tissues, the development of new materials has allowed us to modify the shape of the teeth with minimal preparations and without any preparations at all to the teeth that will be receiving the veneers. These developments oblige us to be much more conservative with the healthy dental tissues. After this presentation, the attendee should be able to understand and apply the following concepts and techniques associated with esthetic dentistry:
- Artistic and scientific principles applied to diagnosis and treatment plan in the daily practice of esthetic dentistry.
- Etiologies and management of excessive gingival display.
- Deeper understanding of minimally invasive techniques with the variety of materials available in contemporary esthetic dentistry.
