OHI-S Veneers and indirect partial restorations 2 lessons 3h 32min

This two-lesson OHI-S course follows the clinical workflow for indirect restorations in posterior and anterior teeth. Across 3 hours 32 minutes, it examines when to choose partial restorations, how composite, ceramic, and hybrid materials differ, and how preparation design influences subsequent steps. The posterior lesson covers rubber dam isolation, dentin disinfection, immediate dentin sealing, impressions, provisionals, and adhesive cementation. The anterior lesson turns to veneers, additive approaches, wax-ups, mock-ups, cervical margins, incisal preparation, and try-in procedures. Clinical cases connect material and technique choices with the practical sequence of restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

Learning Objectives

• Determine the clinical indications for indirect partial restorations in both posterior and anterior teeth.
• Select appropriate restorative materials by comparing the properties of composites, ceramics, and hybrids.
• Execute effective rubber dam isolation, dentin disinfection, and immediate dentin sealing (IDS) protocols.
• Perform precise tooth preparations, including criteria for cervical margin placement and incisal edge reduction.
• Choose and apply the correct elastomer impression materials and tray techniques for accurate captures.
• Fabricate interim and provisional restorations utilizing wax-up and indirect mock-up workflows.
• Execute try-in and adhesive cementation procedures, followed by finishing and polishing.

Topics

Lesson 1: Indirect partial posterior restorations

• Indications for the choice of indirect partial restorations in posteriors.

• The choice of the restorative material. Composites, ceramics or hybrids?

• The isolation with the rubber dam and the cleaning of the decay. Do we isolate before or after the removal of the caries?

• The disinfection of the dentin.

• Immediate dentin sealing and build up.

• The preps in indirect posterior restorative dentistry.

• The impressions in partial restorative, which material and techniques?

• Polyethers and Polyvinylsiloxane, characteristics and use.

• The posterior impressions. How to use elastomers, which trays and which technique choose.

• Provisional restorations.

• Adhesive cementation, finishing and polishing.

• Clinical cases and discussion.

Lesson 2: Indirect partial anterior restorations

• Clinical indications

• Additive vs Preps
