Ceramic: Light & Design

Hands-On Course Description:

In this two day hands-on course Peter Pizzi, CDT, MDT will use natural teeth and photos to discuss proper layering with metal ceramics while creating an understanding of how to translate what we see in nature into our restorations. Peter will show you how to create a working canvas through a simple internal characterization process to create depth and improve the value of your restorations. Unlike many hands on programs, Peter’s unique ability to motivate and provide insight to all participants, and to provide useful tips that can be applied immediately makes this program well worth your time.

Each day will begin with a short lecture, followed by a hands-on demo by Peter.

• The importance of communicating color with photography
