Where restorations are involved, good communication between dentists and technicians is the key to successful outcomes and happy patients. The consequences of poor communication can be reflected in several ways depending on where the breakdown occurs. The cost associated with these breakdowns can have financial and professional ramifications. Everyone involved can share in the joy of the process and be energized by the possibilities or live through the frustration and question their purpose. This course will explore the steps in bridging the gap between the patient, dentist, and technician. To critically breakdown the treatment planning process and clinical steps and to hone in and focus as a united front to deliver beautiful results. This course will have a heavy focus on implant dentistry, starting with single posterior and anterior restorations and building in complexity to implant-supported bridges and full arch implant-supported removable and fixed restorations.
