“Welcome to Additive World” is a comprehensive course developed by Dr. Vailati that introduces and explores the modern, minimally invasive approach to full-mouth rehabilitation using additive techniques. Moving away from traditional subtractive dentistry, this course emphasizes tooth preservation, functional improvement, and esthetic outcomes.

The course combines structured theoretical lessons with live clinical case discussions to help clinicians learn how to diagnose, plan, and execute additive treatments for patients with worn dentition. It provides a step-by-step understanding of how to manage the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), build posterior and anterior contacts, and use palatal veneers effectively.

What You Will Learn:

• The fundamentals and clinical rationale behind additive dentistry
• How to apply the ACE classification system for treatment planning
• Diagnostic photography and consultation protocols
• How to determine and increase the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO)
• The full 3-step esthetic workflow: posterior, control, and anterior phases
• Techniques for the fabrication and bonding of palatal veneers
• Clinical case analysis with live, unedited case recordings
• Improved and re-edited session content for enhanced clarity

Why Take This Course:

• Learn directly from the founder of the additive approach, Dr. Vailati
• Apply practical, clinically tested protocols in your daily practice
• Understand the logic of minimally invasive strategies for complex cases
• Build confidence in managing patients with severe tooth wear
• Observe real-life clinical decisions, including challenges and corrections

The Osteocom Welcome to Additive World (Additive Dentistry) program is best for dentists, prosthodontists, restorative specialists, and dental technicians who want to explore the cutting‑edge field of additive manufacturing in dentistry. It focuses on how 3D printing and digital workflows are transforming restorative, prosthetic, and surgical practices.

Who Should Attend
