**A component of the Restorative Esthetic Continuum
The goal of the University of Toronto Advanced Restorative Esthetic Continuum is to provide participants with a logical and insightful perception as to how to examine, treatment plan and deliver dentistry to their patients that is functional, esthetic and optimally maintainable.
Participants will receive a certificate from the University of Toronto Continuing Dental Education once completing each of the seven programs over a period not exceeding three academic school years. Each of the seven programs will take place on a Friday and Saturday in Toronto, Ontario. Each 2-day program will consist of a lecture and a hands-on component. The hands-on component will allow each participant to fully understand and practice what they have learned and to satisfy the University requirement to be able to give a certificate. Space is limited to 32 participants per session.
The courses are run in logical progression in order to give each doctor insight, perception, and the vision to achieve their restorative esthetic goals. Treatment planning and working with a dental team of specialists is stressed, although there is no way to learn everything in seven sessions, participants will acquire a fundamental and direction to continue their quest for dental excellence.
