ACHIEVING PREDICTABLE EXCELLENCE IN COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Dr. Mike Malone has combined the occlusion and restorative teachings of L D Pankey, Alvin Filastre, Pete Dawson, et al, with a passion for learning from the best and brightest in cosmetic dentistry. He has developed systems for combining predictable restorative techniques with ideal cosmetic procedures. This full-day lecture will highlight the systems he uses to achieve predictable excellence in cosmetic restorative procedures in his practice in Lafayette, Louisiana.

This full-day presentation includes the following components, which can also be broken down into separate presentations:

DEVELOPING TRUST WITH YOUR PATIENTS / CASE ACCEPTANCE FOR COSMETIC AND RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Honesty is the best policy in case presentation, and honesty leads to trust which leads to case acceptance.

This seminar will highlight those key areas that guided Dr. Malone in developing a highly successful cosmetic-oriented, fee-for-service practice during the economic uncertainty of the 80’s and 90’s in a blue-collar, middle-class community. He will discuss techniques he uses to get most patients to schedule, to look forward to, and to rave about their comprehensive new patient examination. He will go over his step-by-step process (utilizing advanced digital photography and presentations) for achieving predictable case acceptance for optimum dentistry. He will also present his Dental Health Program, a preventive periodontal program that produces predictable results in any size practice. (Part of full day or a 3 hour separate presentation)

Learning Objectives:

  • Comprehensive examination protocol
  • Achieving predictable case acceptance at any level
  • Using a periodontal program to initiate patient care

PREDICTABLE COSMETIC AND RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Dentists often find that crown and bridge insertion appointments turn into “try-in” appointments. When the margin is open, the occlusion is high, or the bridge will not seat, who is responsible, the dentist or the technician? With the growing popularity of all ceramic veneers, crowns and bridges, predictability becomes even more important. This presentation will review techniques designed to reduce the stress of cosmetic and restorative dentistry in a general or prosthodontic practice.

(Part of full day or 3 hour separate presentation)

Learning Objectives :

  • Complete the preparation phase faster and with more control
  • Manage soft tissue and take ideal impressions every time
  • Complete and seat finished restorations with predictability

SMILE DESIGN AND ADVANCED PROVISIONAL FABRICATION

High quality provisional restorations are essential in a dental practice dedicated to comprehensive restorative dentistry. Cosmetic reconstruction is much more predictable when using superbly made provisionals to serve as a blueprint for the final restoration. This presentation will provide the details of a technique used to fabricate multilayered composite provisional restorations for porcelain veneers and complex full-arch cases.

(Part of full day or 3 hour separate presentation)

Learning Objectives :

  • Principles of smile design to be used to develop an ideal diagnostic wax-up.
  • How to transfer the information in the diagnostic wax-up into a completed provisional that rivals the final restoration.
  • Systems to help communicate the results of the completed prototype to your technician so you can deliver a predictably ideal restoration.
