Course Overview
This 3-6-day intensive learning experience aims to enhance the clinical skill set and decision making for restorative and aesthetic dentistry. It is aimed at general dental practitioners who wish to take their standards of care from competency to proficiency.
Using the latest in research and clinical education, delegates will improve their knowledge, confidence and hand skills when diagnosing, treatment planning and delivering treatments for more complex restorative and aesthetically demanding cases in a safe and predictable manner.
There will be an emphasis on hands-on teaching utilising part-tasking simulation exercises. By breaking down clinical protocols into detail and practicing under the guidance of our clinical educators, the delegates will be empowered to critically appraise their work which will help enhance their learning experience when returning to practice.
Regular debriefing and group discussion will be encouraged to further stimulate the thought process.
