Workshop from the guru of aesthetic dentistry Galip Gurel in Istanbul!

The course includes a theoretical part, in which you together with the lecturer will study:

• a detailed protocol for the preparation of teeth, including an analysis of the burs used
• rules for working with gingiva
• creation of analog and digital mock-up
• step-by-step protocol for creating Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries (APT)
• planning an individual smile design 
• step-by-step protocol for creating, fixing and finishing indirect restorations.

And on the practical part, you will be able to work out the knowledge gained in theoretical sessions.

Day 1 

Morning session  

Basic introduction to the APT concept  

•  The story of APT (Aesthethic Pre-evaluative Temporaries) 
• The story of the silicone indexes 
• The story of the preparation through the APT technique 
• Basic analog workflow for the anterior bonded porcelain restorations.

Tooth Preparation by Dr. Gurel (VIDEO DEMONSTRATION) 

• Designing the smile  
• Mock-up — Wax-up  
• Preparing silicone indexes in the lab or chair side  
• Analyzing the smile with the indexes  
• Aesthetic pre-recontouring — APR (if needed)  
• Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries — APT  
• Evaluation of the aesthetics through APT  
• Evaluation of occlusion through APT  
• Evaluation of phonetics through APT  
• Tooth preparation through the APT  
• Using depth cutters 
• Using extra fine diamond burs  
• Finishing the margins  – Utilizing the loops and microscope 
• Customising your Arkansas stone burs for finalising gingival margin preparations  
• Using the softlex paper discs during the preparation 
• Handling exposed dentin at time of preparation  
• Impression making using retraction cords (if needed)  
• Provisionals (discussing different techniques depending on different indications)  
• Rechecking the provisionals for aesthetics, functions, and phonetics.

Afternoon session

• Importance of the mock up (analog/digital)  
• Presenting the case to the patient - the direct mock up 
• The mock up as the navigator  
• The mock up as the diagnostic tool  
• Classification and different types of direct mock up  
• The Art of the Personalized Smile Design  
• Different personalities, different choices  
• Personality traits (Hippocrates)  
• Different cultures, religions, backgrounds, traditions.. however a single universal VISUAL LANGUAGE (Carl Jung)  
• Understanding the basic shapes and their perception  
• Difference between looking and seeing  
• Analysis of the face and its perception  
• Analysis of the personality  
• Research amongst the dentists about perception  
• How to relate the Visual language and the shapes to the facial anatomy and personality  
• How to clinically apply the technique.
