Minimally Invasive Veneer Preparation. Hands-on Workshop by Koichi Inuki

The workshop with Koichi Inuki is built around a philosophy that shifts veneering away from aggressive reduction and toward intelligent tissue preservation.

Participants are trained to “think enamel first” — designing restorations that respect biology, biomechanics, and long-term optical harmony rather than simply masking teeth with opaque ceramics. Every step is driven by predictability, from minimally invasive preparation mapping to adhesive control and final surface characterization, ensuring that each clinical decision contributes to a stable and aesthetic long-term outcome.

During the course, you will perform:

– Veneer tooth preparation design with a focus on enamel preservation and aesthetic integration
– Guided tooth reduction using controlled, step-by-step protocols to ensure accuracy and consistency
– Margin design and finishing to achieve seamless transitions and optimal ceramic adaptation.

This hands-on experience is structured to develop not only technical precision, but also a refined clinical mindset where minimal intervention and maximal aesthetic impact coexist in a predictable workflow.
