Course Description

Most dentists understand the importance of anterior teeth and esthetic outcome. But what gets lost in the weeds is how the position of the anterior teeth influence speech and function. Changing an anterior tooth also changes the envelope of function, vertical and horizontal incisal edge, centric stop, protrusive guidance, and lateral excursive guidance. Basically everything!! Predictable results come from predictable treatment planning. This course will help highlight the 2D and 3D planning necessary to reach esthetic, functional, and phonetic success in anterior restorations.
