Speaker

Adriano Teixeira

Dr Adriano graduated in Dentistry from the UNESP State University (Brazil). He also obtained the titles of Specialist and Master in Restorative Dentistry from the University of São Paulo (USP).

With more than 18 years of clinical experience in his practice, he has already given many hands-on courses to students and dentists which enhanced his skill not only as a trainer but also on developing intuitive educational material to improve the learning process.

As a researcher, Adriano has already published papers in reviewed journals and has given presentations in national and international congresses.

The Moulding Injection Technique is an ideal solution for restoring worn dentition and reproducing complex tooth morphologies in both anterior and posterior regions, while achieving excellent aesthetic outcomes.

This course teaches a simple and predictable method for creating direct restorations that can match the aesthetics of indirect restorations, while being faster, more cost-effective, and minimally invasive.

Theory
