What should I expect?

What to Expect
Join us for an exclusive one-day masterclass with Dr Francesca Vailati, internationally renowned for her expertise in adhesive dentistry and functional rehabilitation.

This course is designed for dentists who want to better understand, diagnose, and manage occlusal instability using a modern, minimally invasive approach.

Dr Vailati will guide you through the core principles of functional diagnosis, enabling you to recognise early signs of occlusal instability and identify functional conflicts before they result in damage. You will learn how to analyse tooth contacts, mandibular movements, and muscle dynamics to uncover the underlying causes of tooth wear, fractures, and restoration failure.

Discover how a precise functional diagnosis underpins every successful treatment—ensuring restorations are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and stable over time.

Through real clinical cases, video demonstrations, and interactive discussions, Dr Vailati will show how to apply the 3STEP protocol to restore functional harmony, protect your work, and improve long-term patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this masterclass, participants will be able to:

• Understand occlusal instability and its impact on long-term restorative success
• Diagnose functional conflicts through clinical signs and comprehensive patient assessment
• Perform a structured functional evaluation, including occlusion, muscle activity, and mandibular dynamics
• Appreciate how precise diagnosis contributes to the longevity of restorations
• Apply the 3STEP protocol as a conservative and predictable approach to functional rehabilitation
• Gain practical insights through real clinical cases and video demonstrations
