The Indirect Course Premise:

The Incidental Indirect course is designed to take delegates on a journey through time. Stopping off to learn about conventional crown and onlay preparations and how these have evolved alongside new material advances.

We will next delve into adhesive indirect preparations (overlays, onlays, veneerlays and veneers) and finally we will discuss the relative benefits and risk with vertical margin preparations. Perhaps most importantly we will appraise and discuss how case selection, preparation, provisional restorations and laboratory records vary for the various techniques.

This is a modern hands-on prep course with unique, scenario based practicals, simulating common clinical problems dentists face in general practice. Made for the modern dentists the course covers both analogue and digital workflows and will initially be held exclusively in our, brand new, purpose built, phantom head facility, in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
