Veneers are among the most requested restorative solutions in modern esthetic dentistry. This two-day hands-on course provides a comprehensive clinical protocol for veneer planning, preparation and adhesive cementation through extensive practical exercises and the discussion of real clinical cases. Special emphasis will be placed on selecting the appropriate preparation design, mastering tooth morphology and strengthening collaboration between clinician and dental technician to achieve predictable, long-lasting esthetic outcomes.

Master the Art of Veneers

Two days of intensive hands-on training to refine veneer preparation, morphology and adhesive cementation with Dr. Alessandro Conti and Dental Technician Davide Bertazzo

Target Audience

This course is designed for dentists of all experience levels, from recent graduates to experienced clinicians, who wish to refine their skills in delivering high-quality esthetic and functional restorations.

Thanks to its highly practical, clinically oriented approach, participants will acquire effective, predictable techniques that can be readily integrated into everyday clinical practice.

It also serves as an ideal advanced training opportunity for professionals who have previously attended restorative dentistry courses and wish to further enhance their clinical skills and manual dexterity.

Course registration includes
  • Two-day theoretical and hands-on course
  • Coffee breaks and lunches
  • Certificate of attendance
  • 10% discount on eligible Komet Academy courses*

*Eligible courses are marked with the letter K in the 2027 Course Booklet.

Live Clinical Case Development

During the course, participants will have the opportunity to take part in the live development of real clinical cases.

Each participant may submit one of their own clinical cases for discussion by sending the documentation to corsi@komet.it at least one month before the course.

From the submitted cases, at least two will be selected by the speakers based on their educational value and suitability for live presentation. These cases will be developed during the course with the patient present.

Alternatively, one participant may volunteer to undergo a live mock-up procedure. In this case, dental impressions must be submitted in advance. During the course, the speakers will perform the tooth shape selection and mock-up fabrication live.

Participants interested in either opportunity are kindly requested to indicate their availability during course registration or no later than one month before the course.

What Participants Should Bring

To take part in the hands-on sessions, each participant is required to bring:

  • A standard dental examination kit, including a mouth mirror, explorer, tweezers and periodontal probe
  • Finishing and polishing discs (e.g. 3M™ Sof-Lex™) for the finishing and polishing of restoration

These instruments are essential to ensure a comprehensive hands-on learning experience and to allow participants to perform the practical exercises under realistic clinical conditions.
