Theory is already done online, so the day itself is 100% hands-on. Here is exactly how the time runs — every minute spent at the bench.
| Time | Session | Practical Skills |
|---|---|---|
| 08:30–10:30 | Orthodontic Buttons & Fixed Retainers | Place composite buttons on premolars → safely remove buttons using high-speed/Sof-Lex discs → finishing and polishing → bond an upper 3–3 fixed retainer → intentionally break the wire → demonstrate and practise fixed retainer repair |
| 10:30–11:00 | Morning Break 30 minutes | |
| 11:00–13:00 | Black Triangles & Diastema Closure | Black triangle closure → UR2 restoration → diastema closure between UR1–UR2 → contouring contacts and emergence profiles → finishing |
| 13:00–14:00 | Lunch 1 hour | |
| 14:00–16:00 | Peg Lateral & Edge Bonding | Peg lateral build-up → anterior edge bonding → morphology, line angles and contouring |
| 16:00–16:15 | Afternoon Break 15 minutes | |
| 16:15–17:15 | Direct Composite Veneer | Full composite veneer workflow → layering → anatomy → shape and contour |
| 17:15–18:00 | The Final Polish | Finishing sequence → line angles → surface texture → polishing → achieving a high-gloss natural finish |
08:30 start → 18:00 finish — 7 hours 15 minutes of hands-on teaching, with 1 hour 45 minutes of breaks/lunch.
