EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION UNTIL JULY 24th
Direct anterior restorations represent one of the most fascinating yet challenging procedures in modern restorative dentistry.
Every day, clinicians face situations that require not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of dental esthetics: incisal fractures, Class IV defects, tooth wear, diastema closure, peg-shaped teeth, morphological alterations, and increasingly demanding esthetic expectations from patients.
In these situations, success does not depend solely on the execution of the restoration. An unnatural result, inadequate morphology, improper color integration, or incorrect management of the optical properties of composite materials can transform an apparently acceptable treatment into a source of patient dissatisfaction.
Today, an esthetic failure involves much more than the need to remake a restoration, with the consequent loss of time and resources. It may also result in significant reputational damage, in a professional environment where patient perception, online reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals have an increasing impact on clinical success.
At the same time, modern direct composite restorations allow clinicians to provide highly conservative, esthetic, and affordable treatment options to a broad range of patients. However, fully exploiting their potential requires a comprehensive understanding of indications, limitations, material properties, clinical protocols, and treatment strategies.
This theoretical and hands-on program has been designed to provide participants with immediately applicable clinical protocols for predictable anterior direct restorative dentistry.
Starting from Class IV restorations, considered the ideal educational model for understanding shape, color, layering, and light management, the course will progressively address all fundamental aspects of direct anterior composite restorations, including additive morphological modifications and Direct Composite Veneers (Di_Co_V).
Through original Adhesthetics protocols, clinical videos, live demonstrations, and guided hands-on exercises, participants will acquire a structured and repeatable clinical workflow for achieving natural, functional, and long-lasting anterior restorations.
Because esthetics is not the result of innate talent.
Esthetics is the result of correctly applied protocols and a systematic approach.

About
ADHESTHETICS INTERNATIONAL COURSE...
“For mi it was a very good success for how everything happened. It was something like I was inspired, and I'm eager to go in the practice and to apply what I found out there. It's about to give you the inspiration, the eagerness, the courage to go and to try something new in your practice, something like maybe you didn't do before or you left a little bit afraid to do it..."
Dragos Cirstea, Kidlington - Great Britain
“I came to look for a little more perfection in direct composite restorations, the course has been amazing...."
Sergio Salasar Burgueno, Torremolinos - Spain
“Two years ago it was the first time with Federico and I had a great experience from there, it helped me a lot in my daily practice. Federico is a great mentor. Before I was very insicure to do the anterior restorations but now I cannot wait for a patient to do it..."
Haris Sabic, Zagreb - Croatia
“To listen to Federico sharing his knowledge and different things that I'm going to implement in my daily practice, so I think this course was definitely a must and I can advise it for any other dentist to certainly participate to this course...."
