The Bio-Emulation philosophy as described in Structural Analysis and Visual Synthesis is a universal methodology to emulate natural tissues with a state of the art biomimetic approach.
The analysis of dentin and enamel structures and the evolution of their physical and optical properties over time is at the core of this philosophy. Selection of restorative materials is based on a combination of photographic techniques and color measurements together with proper clinical evaluation. From direct restorations with the penta_laminar concept to indirect restorations with micro_layered solutions, it is feasible to achieve ultra-realistic restorations with similar optical behaviour as natural teeth.

Key Learning points

• Understanding of optical properties of tissues and materials.
• Learn advanced photographic techniques for material selection.
• Material selection criteria based on patients age.
• Direct anterior restoration with simplified penta_laminar approach.
• Indirect anterior restoration with micro_layering over opalescent lithium disilicate.

The expectation that anterior dental restorations should be highly aesthetic, durable and minimally invasive is becoming the common expectation among patients who are increasingly well informed. The utilisation of direct composite resin, bonded ceramic restorations or the combination of the 2 restorative options has rapidly become the cornerstone modality in meeting these expectations.

The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate how basic planning and execution of these modalities of treatment can be applied from the simple everyday cases to the more complex and challenging cases. The presentation will highlight the use of modern digital technologies; from digital scanning and planning, milling and 3D printing to simplify and facilitate the delivery of both direct and indirect restorations.

Presented by one of Australia’s most sought after speaker today, Dr Anthony Mak will highlight the key restorative concepts for direct resins and ceramics using highly visual images, and videos to ensure that the content is delivered in a manner that is easy to understand and most importantly, applicable in everyday practice.

従来では著しい損傷のある歯の治療は根管治療や外科的な歯冠延長及び360°に及ぶ大量の歯牙切削が避けられない事が多かった｡しかし、近年は生体模倣(Bio-Emulation)の概念や接着技術の向上によりそれらを回避する事が可能になってきた｡今回は接着技術を応用し、重篤な損傷のある歯牙の最適な治療法を紹介したいと思う。

ご講演ポイント

前歯部の補綴修復治療において、コンポジットレジン修復やラミネートベニア、クラウンなどさまざまな治療方法が挙げられる。今回はラミネートベニアを中心に、その適応やPreparation Design、Cementation Techniqueなどを解説させていただきたい。

現代の接着修復を用いた補綴修復治療の概念は従来のものから大きな転換をみせている。
それに合わせ、補綴物のマテリアル選択、補綴デザイン、治療のステップなども共に変化してきている。
今回の講演では、現在自身が行っている臨床の中でも接着修復を中心に。どのような場合において接着修復を活用しているか。いくつかの症例と共に接着修復における臨床上の注意点や勘所をお伝えしたい。
