Workshop
Lecture

With Dr. Alexander Schryvers & Dr. Simone Moretto

Overview
Handle dental trauma with confidence. Get practical answers to urgent questions:
- When do you perform an expulpation?
- Which splint should you use, and for how long?
- What follow-up care is needed?
- Should you prescribe antibiotics?
In this 2-day training, we'll explore evidence-based strategies for managing trauma to the permanent dentition. We'll cover both dental injuries (e.g., enamel and root fractures) and periodontal trauma (e.g., luxations, avulsions), supported by scientific research and illustrated with clinical cases. You'll leave better equipped to manage trauma in your practice.

Composite remains the go-to material for dental restorations thanks to its versatility and aesthetic qualities. Our intensive training course helps you master essential techniques and principles — giving you the skills and confidence to deliver precise, predictable results.
