In this course, participants will journey through a complete and modern approach to indirect restorative dentistry—one that begins with purposeful tooth preparation and extends all the way to delivering a predictable, high-quality final restoration. We’ll explore how thoughtful provisional design sets the tone for both function and esthetics, and how effective, detailed communication with your ceramist elevates every case. Through practical instruction on digital photography, polarized imaging, and shade-matching protocols, you’ll learn how to translate what you see chairside into information your lab can confidently act on. By mastering preparation fundamentals, crafting precise and beautiful temporaries, and implementing reliable lab-communication strategies, you will leave with the tools to achieve consistent, exceptional restorative outcomes.
