The prevalence of tooth wear is increasing globally, posing a growing challenge in dentistry. Fully guided composite techniques offer a versatile and predictable solution for restoring worn dentition. In this two-day program, you will learn how to effectively use the Injection Moulding Technique (IMT) in the treatment of tooth wear. This course is designed to provide you with practical skills and clinical insights to treat complex cases of tooth wear using fully guided, interceptive approaches.
We will guide you step by step through the entire treatment process — from initial assessment to long-term maintenance. Key topics include:
🔹Opening the vertical dimension
🔹Building a functional and aesthetic new occlusion
🔹Applying additive direct restorations for minimally invasive rehabilitation
