Mastering Bioceramic Materials in Endodontics – Obturation, Cold Hydraulic Condensation, Perforation Repair and Apical Plug
Bioceramic materials are revolutionizing daily endodontic practice by offering patient-centered solutions for obturation, perforation repair, and apical plug procedures. Obturation is a very important step of the root canal system in order to achieve a positive outcome of the therapy; as a matter of fact a high percentage of the endodontic failures are associated with incomplete root canal obturation. Bioceramic sealers, such as CeraSeal, represent a real game changer; thanks to their unique properties, clinicians can rely on a sealer-centered obturation approach, moving from warm techniques to cold hydraulic condensation while maintaining high-quality results. Perforation repair and Apical plugs can be managed using the CeraPutty, a ready-to-use, easy-to-apply bioceramic putty. Compared to MTA, it simplifies procedures for the clinician. This workshop will explore the features of both CeraSeal and CeraPutty in depth, demonstrating how to use them effectively to gain all the clinical advantages they offer. The common feature of CeraSeal and CeraPutty is represented by the advantages the clinician can get from their proper use, especially in terms of ease, time management and ergonomics. During the hands-on session, participants will perform obturation using CeraSeal, as well as perforation repair and apical plug techniques using CeraPutty.

Porcelain Veneers and Ceramic Overlays – Hands-on Masterclass
This intensive full-day hands-on masterclass provides a comprehensive and clinically structured approach to the complete workflow of porcelain veneers and ceramic overlay restorations, from diagnosis and tooth preparation to adhesive cementation and final clinical verification. Combining evidence-based principles with practical techniques, the course is designed to help clinicians achieve highly predictable functional and aesthetic outcomes in everyday restorative practice.
Participants will explore biologically driven preparation concepts for porcelain veneers and posterior ceramic overlays, with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive dentistry and the preservation of healthy tooth structure. Detailed protocols will be presented for anterior veneer preparations and posterior overlay cases, including margin design, reduction depth, taper control, occlusal morphology, and material-specific strategies for modern ceramic systems.
A major focus of the course is extensive hands-on training. Under the guidance of Dr. Jun Iwata, participants will perform veneer and ceramic overlay preparations using silicone reduction guides, magnification, and digital verification with intraoral scanners (TRIOS®, iTero®, and comparable systems) to assess reduction accuracy and prosthetic space in real time.
In addition, the course includes a dedicated adhesive workflow optimization module focusing on rubber dam isolation techniques, adhesive cementation protocols, and clinical troubleshooting. Participants will learn how to manage common challenges such as seating errors, excess cement removal, postoperative sensitivity, and bonding complications, ensuring greater predictability and long-term success in daily practice.
The program also covers the complete restorative workflow, including Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS), try-in procedures, finishing, occlusal adjustment, and strategies for provisionalization and soft tissue management. Clinical decision-making related to aesthetics, shade selection, and material behavior is integrated throughout the course to support optimal treatment planning and execution.
By the end of the masterclass, participants will have developed a structured and predictable workflow for porcelain veneers and ceramic overlays that integrates biological principles, adhesive dentistry, material science, and digital verification. The techniques presented are directly applicable to daily clinical practice and are intended to enhance precision, efficiency, and confidence in aesthetic and minimally invasive restorative treatments.
