Lesson objectives
The minimally invasive alternative to crowns.
A wide old amalgam. A cusp that has to come down. Enough sound structure left that a bonded ceramic onlay can do everything full coverage would, and keep the tooth a crown would have taken. This hour is a foundation in doing that predictably.
Finish lines
Learn the different finish lines to use, based on the outcome you want to achieve.
Cementation
Learn surface treatment and the cementation workflow.
Clinical cases
Be exposed to a range of different clinical cases.

What you'll learn
Three things, in order.
A foundation solid enough to take to the next indirect case on your schedule.
01
Preparation design
Depth cuts, occlusal reduction and finish line design — including which finish line to reach for based on the outcome you want. How much clearance the ceramic actually needs, and how to verify it instead of eyeballing it.
02
Cementation
Surface treatment of the intaglio and the tooth, in the right order, and the cementation workflow through seating, cleanup and occlusal adjustment.
03
Clinical cases
A range of cases, worked through with the reasoning said out loud — so the prep design and the workflow have somewhere concrete to land.
Thursday, September 3 · 8:00 PM ET · one hour, complimentary
Preparation design
How much do you reduce, and where?
Depth cuts, occlusal reduction, finish line design. The decisions that get made in the first three minutes of the prep and quietly determine everything that follows. Gain a foundation in ceramic onlays on September 3 at 8:00 PM ET.

The curriculum
What we'll cover.
One hour — Thursday, September 3 — on the foundation of the ceramic onlay, from the first depth cut to the cement cleanup.
Preparation design
- Depth cuts and how to use them to keep yourself honest through the prep
- Occlusal reduction — how much clearance, and how to measure it rather than eyeball it
- Finish line design — which finish line to use based on the outcome you want to achieve
- Internal form, isthmus width and path of draw
Cementation & cases
- Surface treatment — the intaglio and the tooth, in the right order
- Cementation workflow — the sequence from seating through to set
- Cleanup, margin finishing and occlusal adjustment
- A range of clinical cases, start to finish, with the reasoning out loud

Good to know
Questions, answered.
What will I actually be able to do after this?
You'll leave with a preparation design you can follow — depth cuts, occlusal reduction and finish line design — and a clear picture of surface treatment and the cementation workflow, grounded in cases you've watched from start to finish.
How much does it cost?
It's complimentary. Register with your name and email and we'll send you everything you need to join.
When is it?
Thursday, September 3, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET (7:00 PM CT, 6:00 PM MT, 5:00 PM PT). One hour, live online.
