Are you ready to revolutionize the way you treat severe tooth wear?
Learn how to restore function, aesthetics, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) with predictable, minimally invasive methods that are already transforming practices worldwide!

Under the guidance of Dr. Riccardo Ammannato, a true innovator who brought the “Index Technique” into everyday dental practice, participants will gain a deep clinical insight into this highly popular, global approach.

During the seminar, you will learn about:

— Comprehensive diagnostics for complex cases of pathological tooth wear
— Wax-up planning to accurately increase the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO)
— Direct, indirect, and hybrid restoration protocols for anterior and posterior teeth, maximizing function and aesthetics
