Anyone have any opinion on where or how to get some good Anterior education if your present employment does not provide for the opportunity?
"I'll be going to the Oliver Brix Course at IDEA in San Fran soon, but that's costing me a pretty penny and some"
dont worry its worth every penny
If you wanna get the most out of the course then heres what i did:
Make a couple of refractory dies up for 11 to do a refractory veneer.
Make a couple of emax copings up for 12
Make a couple of Zirconia copings up for 13.
Oliver will cover doing all 3 types on the course.
Do a wax up 11-13 so that you can make a putty incisal index up to help guide the build ups (they dont tell you to do this in the instruction sheet but they should really).
Hope fully you will then come away with a nice presentation peice to show clients how you can blend all three different techniques/materials.
Heres what i came back with:
Not prefect but usually i manage to make a screw up on courses so i was quite happy.
Next time when a client sais they dont like using zirconia because of white margins or the opaque look etc you can show em your model, and ask em to tell you which ones zirconia
If i hadnt of said, how many people here could guess what was what from the image there?
what i have found over the years with porcelain courses, is that you need to have already attained a certain level of skill to get the most from a course.
If you go to one that is to advanced for the level your at, then it will blow your brain and you come back having hardly learnt anything.
Trying to fast track and just book the most advanced course when your not ready dosent work.
