About
"Any fool can know. The point is to understand" - Albert Einstein
Dental Academy was founded by a group of dental academics, who believe in science based dentistry. Through Dental Academy, they want to share their knowledge and experience within the different fields of dentistry, based on the latest evolutions and scientific findings. Dental Academy offers a wide range of courses for those clinicians who want to expand their knowledge and improve their skills.

‘De levenscyclus van de molaar’ of de ‘Circle of Death’, waarbij een kleine vulling uiteindelijk kan leiden tot verlies van vitaliteit of zelfs extractie van een tand, is algemeen bekend in de tandheelkunde. Echter zijn er nog geen duidelijke strategieën en richtlijnen voorgesteld om dit scenario te voorkomen. Een grondig begrip van het biomechanische gedrag van tanden, zowel gezond als hersteld, op macro- en microniveau is belangrijk. Dit stelt ons namelijk in staat om met effectieve maatregelen te komen om tanden te redden en minder agressief te zijn in onze behandelvoorstellen. Er zal een proactieve benadering worden voorgesteld, zowel voor vitale als niet-vitale tanden. In deze cursus zal het belang van vroege diagnose, gezonde strategie, effectieve isolatie en vakkundige uitvoering aan bod komen.

Screw retained vs. Fixed removable - What is the best solution for full arch rehabilitation?”
Dr. Grzegorz Wasiluk
Grzegorz Wasiluk
Different clinical approaches of connection between full arch restorations and implants can be applied. The restoration can either be removable or fixed to the implants. Screw-retained bridges are most commonly utilized for full arch rehabilitation cases, where satisfying esthetic outcome and passive fit with retrievability of the restoration are achieved. However, the factors which have the influence on peri-implantitis, especially smoking and poor oral hygiene do not have beneficial impact on fixed restorations.
Dr. Wasiluk compares advantages and disadvantages of fixed and removable full arch restorations reviewing current literature and presenting his own experience. Biological aspects influencing the design of reconstructions are discussed. Solutions for predictable and aesthetic removable restoration, applying new material types, are shown.

Mucogingival Academy 21-22/11/2024
An advanced course about soft tissue management around implants
Prof. Dr. Andy Temmerman
Prof. Dr. Ana Castro
Drs. Simone Cortellini
Drs. Alexander Degreef
Tooth and implant: very similar on the one hand and yet so different on the other.
The soft tissue differences are intriguing to say the least, but they also have a direct effect on the surgical management of peri-implant soft tissues.
This masterclass will attempt to provide insights into how the peri-implant tissues can be of importance in the 'long-term survival' of oral implants and why peri-implant tissue surgery should be a regular part of oral implant treatment. A number of possible surgical techniques will be discussed theoretically and clinically
The knowledge gathered in the theoretical session will be transferred to the preclinical field in a hands-on session on pig jaws. The participant will be guided during the hands-on session by the course leaders.
The masterclass is not only interesting for surgeons. Also dentists with specific interest in implantology will learn how the management of peri-implant tissues can be an integrated part of the treatment strategy.

Posterior Indirect Academy 30/05/2024
The advanced continuation of the Indirect Posterior Bootcamp
Prof. Dr. Stefan Vandeweghe
Dr. Valentin Vervack
Eline Verbeke
Today’s restorative materials and luting cement, allow the dentist to restore a decayed posterior tooth in a minimally invasive, durable and highly esthetic manner.
In this full day course, participants will learn how to select and prepare for an indirect (partial) restoration in the posterior area. The theory provided during the presentations, will be immediately applied during the hands-on session. Participating dentists will experience an almost real-life situation, while going through the different steps of the workflow, starting from case selection and preparation till the final placement of the restoration.
Price: € 750,00
EARLY BIRD* € 690,00
*Early bird until 6 weeks before start date
Anterior Indirect Academy 31/05/2024
Advanced hands-on course on indirect anterior restorations
Prof. Dr. Stefan Vandeweghe
Eline Verbeke
Restoring anterior teeth in an indirect manner requires durable and esthetic ceramic materials, which can be bonded to the tooth surface. However, this procedure is often complex and requires extensive knowledge of the materials and products used.
In this full day course, participants will learn how to select and prepare for an indirect restorations in the anterior region. The theory provided during the presentations, will be immediately applied during the hands-on session. Participating dentists will experience an almost real-life situation, while going through the different steps of the workflow, starting from case selection and preparation till the final placement of the restoration.

Complex implant rehabilitation
in a multi-disciplinary approach
Dr. Eric Van Dooren
The esthetic implant rehabilitation of patients with compromised dentition frequently involves a multidisciplinary approach.
The achieving of esthetic objectives in multidisciplinary cases represents a considerable clinical challenge. During recent years, treatment modalities and options have changed.
The design of implants and prosthetic components has changed in order to minimize bone resorption and soft tissue alterations. This lecture will focus on the prosthetic and surgical approach in difficult esthetic implant rehabilitations.
