ABOUT THE COURSE
Tooth wear has an increasing prevalence and is a challenging condition for the clinician to discuss with the patient and offer predictable solutions. We created this comprehensive course based on the real-life clinical dilemmas and the skills required to solve them. The Tooth wear Course was developed as an answer to the questions and challenges that we face when managing this group of patients. The two-day programme is designed to take you chronologically through the patient’s journey, from initial assessment to interceptive treatment and right through to maintenance and recalls.
