Vident, Sieber course

SAN DIEGO, California--Vident teamed up with Claude Sieber, MDT, to offer a program that focused on teaching students how to create a lifelike, all-ceramic restoration solely from a photograph. Participants were trained on how to map out several effect powders and porcelains, including effect enamels, effect pearls, effect opals, and others to fabricate a picture perfect restoration. A brief lecture on understanding the purpose of translucent and opacious porcelain applications to create a tooth was followed by the hands-on portion of the course. Attendees were supplied with a photograph and used their technical creativity to build and fabricate the closest matching central to the picture. Vident presents hands-on course for ceramic layeringTwo more courses led by Claude Sieber are now available for registration. Both courses will be taught in September 2011 at New York City College in Brooklyn, N.Y. The first hands-on course will cover light transmission and its influence on front tooth restorations. The second course is an all-ceramic, two-day, hands-on VITA VM9 course that will cover the artistic and scientific theory of the VM9 veneering material.
