Worn dentition? Direct and indirect adhesive restorative approach
by Riccardo Ammannato,
DDS
Abstract
The main goal of this lecture is to provide, indications and protocols to diagnose and
treat severe worn dentition through a new no prep “hybrid” approach increasing the
OVD: 1) a direct workflow “The Index technique”; 2) The lecture will also focus on
when and how to bond on worn dentition, additive partial indirect restorations
(onlays/overlays) in composite and/or ceramic, depending on the indications.
All the step by step protocols will be addressed through step by step images and videos
on patients, in order to have a clear over view of this hybrid (direct-indirect) technique
through an analog and digital workflow.
Learning Objectives:
1 How to diagnose worn dentition (corrosion; attrition; abrasion;abfraction).
2 Opening the OVD and planning the treatment plan
3 The indications and protocols for a no prep direct adhesive approach: “The Index Technique”.
4 The indications and protocols for a minimal invasive indirect adhesive approach through composite and/or ceramic onlays/overlays.
