Management of Tooth Wear in General Practice - 3 Days
About
Management of Tooth Wear in General Dental PracticeThree-Day Intensive: Theory to Hands-On Execution
Dr. Niall Quigley will deliver a three-day intensive course on the Gold Coast focused on the theory and practical management of tooth wear in general dental practice. The programme comprises two days of structured theory followed by one full day of hands-on practical training.
The programme combines diagnosis and treatment planning with detailed coverage of contemporary clinical techniques used in tooth wear management. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on real-world clinical decision-making, including treatment sequencing, common pitfalls, and the practical realities of managing these cases over time.
Rather than presenting idealised outcomes alone, the course includes honest, case-based discussion, showing what works well, what does not, and how outcomes can be improved. Delegates will be guided through treatment successes, complications, and long-term follow-up, with open reflection on how planning, execution, and material choices influence results.
Small Group Format
To maximise learning and meaningful interaction, the course is strictly limited to 12 delegates. This small-group format is designed to encourage open and honest discussion, allow detailed questioning, and ensure that each participant receives substantial direct input throughout the programme.
The aim is that no delegate leaves without a clear, practical framework for planning and treating their own tooth wear cases, with ample opportunity for individual case discussion and direct clinician-to-clinician engagement.
