Introduction

This course reviews the various types of gold alloy restorations, ranging from small Class I inlays through to full veneer and aesthetic metal-ceramic crowns.

The key stages of the treatment process are discussed, incorporating far more than just the design and provision of alloy restorations alone. Subjects include the assessment of tooth strength, the influence of modern adhesives, shade prescription, impression techniques and provisional restorations.

With over 90 topics incorporating 700+ images, 70+ animations, 8 video case studies (approximately 90 minutes) and 50 questions to test your metal (!), there will be something of interest for all practitioners.

The course is divided into 7 modules, providing up to 30 hours of verifiable CPD. Purchase Module 1 and access all the content on the CD and receive certification for 6 hours of CPD. If you require certification for subsequent modules simply forward the report generated by the program, pay the respective fee and a certificate will be issued. Purchase all the modules at once and receive a 25% discount.

Content              

"Patient assessment" presents some common situations followed by a methodological approach to help determine the most appropriate management.

“Alloys” reviews the types of materials available, classification, and how their respective characteristics influence their clinical application.

“Restorations” summarises the various types of intra- and extra-coronal restorations.

“Staying Put” describes key features that help to ensure that a restoration remains in place once cemented.

“Shade Selection”
discusses some important colour models and methods for obtaining accurate and reliable shade selection, so important for the success of metal-ceramic crowns.

“Preparation Design” reviews the important features, together with descriptions and techniques for each type of restorations.

“Impressions” discusses common materials and techniques that help to ensure accurate results.

“Provisional restorations”
describes the various options available.

“Try-in and fit” discusses evaluation on the die, in the mouth, and finally the fitting procedure.

The Case Studies section consists of 8 videos: "Inlay", "Onlay", "Partial Veneer Crown", "Adhesively Bonded Alloy Restoration", "Full Veneer Crown", "Ion Form Provisional Crown", "Metal-ceramic (including Captek)" and "Wings for Metal-ceramic preparation".

The interactive quiz consists of 50 thought-provoking questions. Once completed, links to the relevant parts of the program are provided.

User comments


"This is an excellent CD, which I am pleased to review. In fact, it is so comprehensive that I am not aware of anything relevant that has not been included."

"The quality of the materials is first class and the CD is highly recommended".

“This form of self-education cannot be bettered!”

“The programme should be called ‘Everything you ever wanted to know about gold restorations’, because I do not think there is much more to add.”

“This program, right from the opening introduction, oozes style and quality and has a professional presentation which makes The Dental Channel programs stand out from the rest of the pack – excellent!”

“The vast number of case studies was extremely pleasing to see. It is clear that a lot of thought and effort has gone into each of them. Well done!”

“Good source of information and applicable to daily clinical dental surgery!”

“It was very thorough. The subject was covered in great detail. The animation is excellent!”


"The quality of the case study presentation were very good, particularly the adhesively bonding alloy restoration where the case was shown from start (treatment planning) to finish."

"Exceptionally good range of content which is easily assessed. References are useful as are the extra notes."

"Clear diagrams, good narrator, nicely varied content."

"To be only accredited 12 hours would be a shame, when minimum I would probably spend around 30 hours to take in all the information properly."

"The photographic illustrations and videos are very clear and helpful and the narration kept one’s interest and allows the content to flow."

"Clear presentation, pleasant to look at and easy to interact with – keeps interest going. Excellent images which are easier to relate to than written descriptions. I found the quiz really good and a good learning resource."

"Excellent case studies – detailed and clear. To be able to see someone else doing the prep is superb."

"I really enjoyed this programme, information is well presented and clear, very valuable resource."
