Day one: natural form and a Class IV
A Class IV exercise explores incisal translucency, halos and internal effects. Lectures relate anterior anatomy and surface texture to tooth optics, resin choices, matrices and contacts. A polishing session teaches a three-stage approach.
Day two: contrasting veneer cases
Delegates create mature and youthful direct veneers, varying surface finish, incisal detail, opacity and characterisation such as craze lines. Case demonstrations address dark substrates, layering, occlusion and long-term maintenance.
Included learning resources
A clinical textbook and practical workbook accompany online demonstrations of peg laterals, Class IV and V restorations, diastema closure and direct veneers. Materials are supplied, with lunch, refreshments, a first-day social hour and access to the Art of Dentistry community.
