Aesthetic Dentistry Masterclass: From A to Z
(Natural Teeth & Implants 2 Modules)
Module 1:
October 12-13-14, 2026
Module 2:
October 15-16-17, 2026
Advanced Training Center Sanitas in Mantua (Italy)
(The course is in English)
OBJECTIVES
The patient’s aesthetic evaluation should always represent the starting point of any clinical assessment, even in cases primarily focused on functional rehabilitation. Prosthetic restoration must therefore be considered the final goal of a therapeutic pathway that may be more or less long and complex, involving different disciplines, with the ultimate aim of restoring both adequate aesthetics and function.
At the same time, today’s professionals increasingly focus on simplifying the workflow: on the one hand, reducing chair time (and consequently the overall treatment costs); on the other hand, enabling even less experienced clinicians to successfully manage and complete complex cases.
The course is divided into two modules, each lasting three days. Each module includes a hands-on session, during which every participant will apply the workflows demonstrated by the lecturer during the theoretical sessions and during live patient demonstrations.
A JOURNEY TOGETHER
My goal is to fully share my clinical protocols with all participants, so that they can confidently apply them in their daily practice with their own patients. In addition, dedicated tutorials covering the most relevant steps of the program will be created and shared with all attendees.
City Tour & Dinner Experience
At the end of each working day, guided sightseeing tours will be organized to explore the city’s historic center, including visits to its most important landmarks and cultural attractions.
These activities will be followed by convivial social moments, designed to encourage networking among participants, where everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy the finest specialties of local cuisine in a pleasant and informal atmosphere.
After registration, you will be contacted by email in order to arrange the hotel booking and the transfer from the airport to the hotel.
Dr. R. Molinari obtained his diploma as a dental technician in 1986. He subsequently graduated with honors in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics from the University of Bologna (Italy) in 1993. After training with some of the most renowned experts in modern dentistry, he specialized in periodontology, implantology, and aesthetic dentistry. He delivers advanced courses for dentists on the proper use of CAD/CAM workflows for both natural teeth and implant-supported restorations.
Dr. Molinari is an active board member of PEERS and serves as an international Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Dentsply Sirona and ZEISS, focusing on CAD/CAM and micro-dentistry, respectively. He has authored numerous scientific publications.
He lives and works in Mantova, Italy, where he runs his private dental clinic and advanced educational training center.
