3 SETP ADDITIVE PROSTHODONTICS

DESCRIPTION

How tojump in a full-mouth rehabilitation? Are we ready to leave the comfort zoneof the single tooth dentistry? It is a different world If we decide to doit. So many questions to be answered How can we convince the patient to accepta more global rehabilitation? How can we plan the sequences of the appointmentswithout remakes and waste of time? How can we guide the laboratory technicianin developing a customised full-mouth project? Can we do first a reversibletest drive of the project?

The 3STEPhas the answers to all these questions. The 3STEP is annon invasive functional and estheticstabilization of the mouth.

The 3STEPis based on a "protocol" that has been clinically validated for more then 15 years on a large number of patients and with a highsuccess rate. The secret of its value is based on: the attention to thediagnosis of the problem; a strict clinical and laboratory operative sequence;an absolute "trust" in adhesion; the occlusal adjustments based onchewing.

The 3STEPisn't just a technique, it is a method, a method that becomes a discipline.

The 3STEPis the new way of doing Prosthodontics. Its ambition is to become the startingpoint of every multidisciplinary approach, involving orthodontics, aesthetics,implantology, etc., from simple to complex prosthetic rehabilitations.
