Veneers: Where Aesthetics Meets Function. Hands-on Course by Francesca Vailati

Modern restorative dentistry goes far beyond aesthetics and requires a deep understanding of the functional processes that determine occlusal stability and the longevity of veneers.

This three-day hands-on course is designed to deepen knowledge in functional dentistry, the aesthetic creation of veneers, and to elevate adhesive protocols to a fundamentally new level.

Unlike traditional veneer courses focused solely on aesthetics, on this hands-on course Francesca Vailati teaches how to create aesthetic smile that endures through function.

This three-day course reveals her unique approach to monolithic CAD/CAM composite veneers while integrating the functional principles of the renowned 3STEP concept.

Key topics:

— Functional examination and occlusion analysis according to the 3STEP protocols
— Analysis of functional occlusal disorders and creation of a mock-up according to the 3STEP concept
— Diagnosis of the patient’s chewing pattern using G-TEST and interpretation of the results
— Protocols for muscle deprogramming according to the 3STEP protocol
— Protocols for adhesive bonding of monolithic CAD/CAM composite veneers
— Assessment of occlusion after muscle deprogramming according to the protocols of Francesca Vailati.

Practical part of the course include:

— Diagnosis of the chewing pattern using G-TEST
— Muscle deprogramming according to the 3STEP protocol and bite registration
— Assessment of occlusal changes after relaxation and muscle deprogramming.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:

— Master the functional and aesthetic principles of the 3STEP concept directly from its creator
— Understand the relationship between function and the aesthetics of restorations
— Achieve predictable, stable, and long-lasting results.
