CATEGORY 12 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST A smile communicates more than words ever could – it’s a powerful expression of personality, confidence, and emotion. So much is said with a smile! For an exceptional insight into the latest techniques, approaches and aesthetic dentistry treatments, Transforming Smiles 2025 is a masterclass not to be missed. In the world of modern dentistry, the ability to transform a patient’s smile goes far beyond just improving oral health – it’s about boosting confidence, enhancing aesthetics, and changing lives. Transforming Smiles 2025 is presented by leading experts, who each bring a wealth of expertise. Prosthodontist, Dr Michael Mandikos, the Director of Restorative Dentistry at the University of Sydney, Professor Vesna Miletic and prosthodontists Professor David Roessler, Dr David Roberts and Dr Justin Boulton combine to present the TS2025 masterclass. As technology advances and patient expectations rise, the key to staying ahead in this evolving field lies in taking the time to engage with experts in the field, sharing their knowledge, insight and expertise. Dr Michael Mandikos will showcase the full anterior and posterior crown applications of Emax as well as partial coverage applications for veneers and onlays in the opening session of the event. Knowing when to change the vertical dimension, when it will make your patient look better and increase the longevity of teeth and restorations are some of the topics detailed by Professor David Roessler. Digital dental technologies in practice across the past decade are presented by Dr David Roberts, including what you can and can’t do with various digital dental technologies, the potential cost benefits of making digital dentistry part of your practice as well as the limitations of a variety of currently available technologies. Smile design is a delicate balance of artistry and science, where small details matter. From reshaping teeth to whitening, bonding, or even incorporating advanced dental technologies, there are endless possibilities for practitioners to offer patients a truly personalised and transformative experience. Immediate single tooth implants are covered in the opening session on Day 2 by Professor David Roessler, detailing strategies to achieve the best aesthetic result. With adhesive bonding integral within so many aspects of aesthetic dentistry and smile transformation, Professor Vesna Miletic showcases strategies and techniques to optimise adhesive bonding approaches. Over time, patients who have undergone smile transformations will present with fracture or deterioration of restorative materials and repairing restorations is an integral part to maintaining a patient’s smile. Professor Miletic, in her second session, will discuss step-by-step clinical techniques for restoration repair versus restoration replacement, to simplify the decision making process and improve success rates.
