Preparation
excellence: Let's look in the rear view mirror -
3PACE/CERP CEU's
This highly interactive seminar provides dentists with
a unique opportunity to acquire an excellent understanding
of the preparation design challenges most commonly
observed in the dental laboratory. Identification and
correction of these everyday technical dilemmas will
be covered. Lecture is followed by workshop exercises
and discussion that focuses on the specific clinical
evaluation and preparation skills needed to produce
predictable, consistent restorative results while reducing
stress and increasing profitability. The value of a
higher level of involvement with the dental laboratory
team, a vital ingredient in detailed preparation evaluation,
will be emphasized.
(For optimal effectiveness, this is a limited attendance
seminar. Maximum of 40 doctors please.)
Important Note!
Key to the effectiveness of the workshop portion of this
seminar is the following:
- Each participant
is required to bring mounted model work from 3 recently
prepared fixed crown and bridge cases, as returned
from the laboratory, for evaluation and discussion.
Participants are encouraged to bring a sampling of
different restoration types (all-ceramics, laminate
veneers, porcelain-fused-to-metal, etc.) if available.
- If available, it
is optimal to bring cases that have not been seated
so the preparation details can be compared to the restorative
results as returned from the dental technician.
A detailed preparation evaluation checklist will be
provided to each participant for this workshop.
Seminar Topics:
- Evaluating
your doctor-technician relationship: Could it be healthier
and more rewarding?
- Preparation
perfection? Putting it all into perspective!
- Preventing
impression distortion: The #1 killer of dental practice
and laboratory profits!
- A review of the most
common preparation errors seen in the laboratory with
their solutions
- The preparation
checklist: Taking a confidential look in the rear
view mirror at some of our recent cases…from
a technician’s perspective! (Hands-on)
- Slow
down, look, and listen: How should the laboratory technician
deliver feedback that will result in improved preparations?
(Specific case examples.)
