CPR for the Worn Dentition
Management of the patient with the worn dentition is a challenge many restorative dentists face within their practices. The etiology of the wear appears to be multi-factorial, and the occurrence of wear cases seems to be increasing, both in severity and in the number of patients presenting with these issues. The traditional strategy of utilizing a pre-operative wax-up, and going directly to preparation of the teeth for definitive restorations, creates a situation where the dentist is not able to test the planned occlusal and esthetic changes until after tooth preparation is completed. Unfortunately, patients may find it difficult to accept the changes in tooth length, form, and contour, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction and restorative failure.
During this LIVE hands-on workshop, we will review the utilization of direct resin bonding in a non-preparation, reversible technique to create prototype restorations in worn dentition and smile transformation cases. The direct bonded prototype restorations allow the dentist to work out esthetic, occlusal, functional, and phonetic issues with the patient, before committing to definitive restorations. The philosophy of Concept, to Prototype, to Restoration allows for a safe, reversible opportunity for the restorative dentist to treat complex patients.

no-preparation, reversible technique
CPR Creates Predictability for Dentists and Patients
Learn the importance of reversibility in complex treatment. The CPR philosophy permits the dentist and patient to work out esthetic, occlusal, functional, or phonetic
issues before the teeth are irreversibly prepared.
HANDS-ON PRACTICE
Follow Along in Your Own Dental Office
Half of this course is hands-on (materials included)! The virtual workshop is based on utilizing composite bonding in a ‘non-preparation’ technique to treat the worn dentition. From a diagnostic wax-up, you will utilize a combination of a PVS putty matrix and free-hand bonding to create the proper tooth form. You will learn an efficient and predictable technique to support the increase in vertical dimension.
