When it’s done right, having a hygienist or therapist can be a great support to your practice, but it can also be fraught with cancellations and no-shows. Create systems and procedures to: • Introduce a hygienist into the practice; • Ensure patients understand benefits of utilising the hygienist/therapist; • Maximise the value of the periodic hygiene visit; • Calculate the number of hygiene days required; • Align dentist and hygienist or therapist philosophies and diagnoses; • Increase patient participation in the active maintenance programme. Communicate in order to: • Ensure the entire team can support the hygienist or therapist and raise their profile in the patients’ eyes; • Use Primespeak tools to turn each patient into a devoted fan and get the patient to own their oral health problems Further event information

The myriad of different ceramics available will be discussed with their indications and alternative approaches to their implementation. Preparation and provisionalistion techniques will be practiced within an intensive hands-on workshop and participants will be expected to complete multiple preparation of porcelain veneers, onlays and crowns. With the evolution of different ceramics, it has made the area of cementation somewhat confusing with questions being asked… “do I need to cement this or should I bond this?” Different cementation techniques from conventional, self-adhesive to adhesive bonding will be explained and simplified with an outline when each technique is indicated. Participants will practice what is sometimes a stressful procedure, the adhesive cementation of veneers, with useful tips and hints that will make this less nerve wracking! Further event information
