Anterior and Posterior Veneers: Clinical Preparation Protocols by Masayuki Okawa. Hands-on Course

In the digital era of esthetic dentistry, laminate veneers are no longer just restorations — they are precision-driven designs that merge biology, function, and aesthetics into a single predictable workflow.

The preparation protocols of Masayuki Okawa follow a minimally invasive-driven approach for full-mouth veneer restorations, combined with digital protocols for treatment planning, design, and clinical execution to achieve highly aesthetic and functional outcomes.

During the hands-on session, participants will gain full clinical experience and will perform:

– Fabrication of a silicone putty index and its clinical application
– Anterior tooth preparation (tooth #21) using the short lap technique
– Posterior tooth preparation (tooth #26): palatal veneer preparation protocols.

Advantages of the "Practical Course" participation option:
