Management of localised tooth wear using the sandwich technique

What to expect

This exciting and unique course begins with an on-demand lecture to view at a time that suits you and is followed with a day-long live and interactive online workshop. Attend from wherever you choose! As part of this virtual training, our speaker, Kushal Gadhia will live-stream in real-time his treatment of a patient with localised tooth wear, using the sandwich technique.

This event will help to enhance the understanding and clinical skills required to manage localised tooth wear (TSL) using a combination of indirect and direct restorations with minimal preparation of the teeth. There will be an opportunity to ask questions in the live online workshop.

Course requirements

The one hour on-demand lecture must be completed in advance of joining the live virtual online training day.

No refunds or deductions will be offered for failure to complete the lectures.
