Her topic: Additive dentistry:

The Three Step Additive Approach: The Advantages of Planning an Additive, Adhesive Rehabilitation

Dental wear is a frequently underestimated pathology that nowadays affects an increasing number of individuals, not only for the excessive presence of acid in the mouth, but also because of parafunctional habits. Instead of leaving these dentitions degrading further a non-invasive (ADDITIVE) intervention should be proposed, based on an increase of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO).

To help “one tooth dentistry” clinicians to plan and executed more comprehensive rehabilitations, the 3 STEP technique should be considered, with its simplified protocol. Diagnosis, data collection and treatment plan are all part of this different way of approaching patients.

Learning objectives:
Being exposed to the differences between ADDITIVE versus subtractive dentistry
Making an initial diagnosis on the cause of the tooth wear.
Understanding the rational behind the treatment planning a full-mouth ADDITIVE adhesive rehabilitation
Looking at a variety of treated cases, to realise the potential applications of this technique, also in different situations than dental erosion
