Webinar on tooth whitening techniques for complex cases
Webinar for dentists seeking evidence-based protocols for tooth whitening and managing sensitivity in complex cases.
Dentistry.co.uk is offering a webinar on tooth whitening led by Dr Rafael Beolchi, covering practical approaches to managing discolouration and delivering predictable outcomes across straightforward and complex cases.
What the webinar covers
The session addresses the science and clinical application of whitening, including how peroxide works, the primary causes of intrinsic and extrinsic discolouration, and protocols for non-vital bleaching. Participants will learn when and how to use microabrasion, develop at-home whitening protocols, and manage sensitivity during treatment.
About the speaker and learning outcomes
Dr Beolchi graduated from the University of São Paulo in 2000 and holds master's degrees in biomaterials (2009) and dental medicine. He teaches internationally and works as a consultant for aesthetic dental products. The webinar aims to help dentists meet patient expectations, improve satisfaction, and handle complex whitening cases with a step-by-step clinical approach.
Frequently asked questions
What causes intrinsic versus extrinsic tooth discolouration?
The webinar covers the primary causes of both types of discolouration, though the source does not detail specific causes. Dr Beolchi's practical approach teaches clinicians to identify and treat each type according to evidence-based protocols.
How do you treat whitening sensitivity in patients?
The webinar includes management of sensitivity during tooth whitening treatment, with practical protocols for preventing and addressing patient discomfort while delivering whitening outcomes.
What is the protocol for whitening non-vital teeth?
The webinar covers specific protocols for non-vital bleaching, a technique used when the tooth nerve has been removed or is not vital, which requires different handling than vital tooth whitening.
When and how should microabrasion be used in whitening?
The webinar teaches dentists when microabrasion is appropriate as part of whitening treatment and how to apply it as a clinical step within a comprehensive whitening plan.
What are best practices for at-home tooth whitening?
The session develops best practices for at-home whitening protocols, helping dentists prescribe safe and effective take-home treatments that align with in-office approaches.
