The desire and drive to maintain a healthy and attractive smile for a lifetime has never been greater. This desire has created a great need for modern dentistry to offer highly attractive yet conservative procedures.
The objective of this course is to review and present different treatment options that are available to restore the damaged tooth with minimal or no further reduction of the remaining healthy tooth structure using adhesive concepts and materials.
At the conclusion of this thought provoking presentation, the participants will become familiar with concepts that will challenge traditional concepts for restorative care. This paradigm shift will ultimately result in safer, more conservative therapies, which respect and reproduce the natural tooth’s biomechanical, functional and esthetic properties more closely than ever before.
OBJECTIVES
• Learn the advantages of offering protective products and procedures to protect and enhance unrestored natural teeth
• Learn the advantages and techniques for direct composite veneer restorations versus porcelain veneer restorations
• Learn the advantages and techniques for “fragment reattachment” for fractured teeth
• Learn the advantages and techniques for using bonded single tooth replacement for missing anterior teeth

ALPHA OMEGA OF GREATER LOS ANGELESLos Angeles
It was an honor and pleasure to attend a fascinating and informative lecture on the future of healthcare in the US recently. I applaud Dean
Emeritus, Dr. Harold Slavkin for a brilliant lecture.
I am excited about our upcoming Alpha Omega international convention, this year in Los Angeles from December 26th to December 31st. Dentists from around the globe with their families will gather for 5 days of comaraderie, learning and festivities.
You truly should not miss this rare opportunity to enjoy a magnificentcelebration of international fraternalism.
Lectures by masters such as Drs Stanley Melamed, Ziv Simon, Marshall Fagin and Bill Becker. Immediately following the Friday afternoon lectures there will be Kabbalat Shabat dinner. Also planned are a city tour, a golf day, capped off by the Honors Night banquet. Don’t miss it. The next one in LosAngeles may not be for another 50 years!
