Veneers in the APT concept. Workshop with Galip Gurel

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.

PROGRAM

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. 

– Video of a live recorded case.  

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.
