Date & Time: Saturday, November 22, 2025 · 10:00 PM EST
Webinar Description:
“The webinar explores the transformative impact of magnification—particularly the use of the dental microscope—on modern aesthetic dentistry. Through a multidisciplinary perspective and the presentation of clinical cases, the session highlights how magnification not only enhances precision but also reshapes clinical protocols and decision-making processes.
Special attention will be given to direct restorative techniques, illustrating how magnification enables a level of detail and control that redefines both functional and aesthetic outcomes. Beyond the technical advantages, the talk invites reflection on how this visual paradigm shift challenges traditional practices and opens the door to a more refined, minimally invasive, and biologically respectful approach to dentistry.”
