Course Description

Aesthetic dentistry has become increasingly important in contemporary dental practice as patients worldwide seek a visually attractive smile. Social media has played a significant role in shaping people’s perceptions of beauty, and dental practitioners are now under more pressure than ever to deliver invisible restorations using minimally invasive approaches that preserve natural, sound tooth structure.

Discover a world of aesthetic treatment approaches with our exciting series of online lectures and demonstrations. Divided into three MOOCs, our courses cover everything from fundamental knowledge (MOOC 1) to minimally invasive approaches (MOOC 2) and advanced approaches in aesthetic dentistry (MOOC 3). Our lectures are presented by internationally and locally renowned experts in their fields, providing you with the latest techniques and trends in aesthetic dentistry. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in this exciting and rapidly evolving field!

In this MOOC, we will delve into various topics related to the fundamentals of aesthetic dentistry, including macro-aesthetics, micro-aesthetics, occlusion, color theory, and advanced techniques in shade analysis and matching. You will gain an overview of dental photography in aesthetic dentistry, learn how to adjust your camera settings, communicate with labs using dental photography, and shoot like a pro. Designing smiles and creating treatment plans for your patients will also be covered. Last but not least, we have an exciting panel discussion on treating aesthetically compromised dentition.
