This course is an international continuing education program designed to provide comprehensive training on all aspects of contemporary aesthetic and restorative dentistry.
The postgraduate diploma is intended to define a level of competence consistent with that of an experienced clinician.

The course consists of six two-day modules organized in the host country. The course components include theoretical and clinical didactic knowledge applied to adhesive techniques in all aspects of restorative dentistry.
The didactic format will include lectures, laboratory time, video literature review, and intensive hands-on practice.
