Aesthetic Evaluation & Functional Diagnosis (Part 2)

Back in October I held part 1 of Aesthetic Evaluation & Functional Diagnosis where I taught students how to identify keys to facial and dental analysis. This week on November 8th, I will present part 2, where we will discuss communication steps between clinician and laboratory, to impart one's vision with diagnostic wax ups and composite mock ups. To register e-mail Nuree Kwon at: nkwon@jjkda.com

I'm looking forward to embarking on the part of the course,"Mastering Efficiency in Aesthetic Dentistry" that focuses on Custom Tooth Preparation. Here we will learn how to use Restorative Space Management methods on all types of cases and how to create minimal prep design for each case.
