DentLit
Dr. Miguel A Ortiz and Dr. Carlos de Carvalho

Teaching, research and clinical practice are the foundations that support dentistry. It is important to understand that without research and teaching our specialities become a simple pedagogic exercise. We believe that dentistry should be based in scientific evidence. Clinical practice is no longer accepted without it being supported by scientific work that ensures its effectiveness. It is for this reason that old mechanical concepts were surpassed by the “adhesive era”.

The objective of the course is to develop the following abilities in students:

  • To understand that the use of laminate veneers must be interpreted as a complex oral rehabilitation.
  • The development of facial analysis, and customization of the ideal smile by using a sequenced scientifically based approach.
  • To understand the importance of dental photography for the development of a photographic protocol for digital planning in aesthetic dentistry.
  • The development and understanding of the role of mock-up from the wax up to the mouth, guided by the virtual drawing of smile design.
  • The learning and reproducibility of the 3 associated clinical protocols for the personalization of a smile when using veneers.
  • The learning and improvement of the necessary techniques for the implementation of laminate veneers:
    • Minimally invasive preparation and fitness
    • Impression techniques
    • Selection of porcelain and laboratory technique of laminate veneers
    • Substrate color selection
    • Try-in and adjustments for adaptation
    • Core foundations
    • Occlusal schemes

    It is rare to go to a Lecture, or workshop, and get so much out of it. If you’re looking for a small group setting of co-minded colleagues to learn both hands and on didactically inspired techniques, I can not recommend this course enough. Feel free to pm if you have questions. Carlos and Miguel- thank you so much for helping to refine techniques such as these. You guys are rockstars

    Truly one of the very best dental weekends of my 30 year career. The best of both worlds… literally. From Argentina to Brazil, Miguel Ortiz and Carlos de Carvalho are 2 of the very best dentists/instructors/photographers on the planet. I’ve taught cosmetic dentistry and photography for over 15 years, and practiced for over 30, yet the Monday morning after this class, I changed the way I prep, the way I treatment plan and the way I deliver my dentistry.

    What was even more impressive was that they would share a technique, protocol, or new approach to dentistry, and then immediately give you the science articles and literature that it came from. We were given total access to all research that their class was built on.

    In addition, the hands-on component was second to none. This course will make you a better dentist and for me, a better instructor as well.
    Five stars only because 6 wasn’t an option. Finally, they are just good-people. Extremely knowledgable, yet humble and willing to share everything they could.
    Your practice will benefit from this awesome weekend!

    I recommend this course to all restorative dentists. Both doctors are amazing clinicians and their approach to dentistry is backed by literature #dentlit. The best thing about the speakers was the ease of which we could approach them. Dr. Carcalho is very humble and taught us a simplified approach to prepping veneers. I was able to apply these principles immediately! Dr. Ortiz is a genius. I am excited to attend their next course to take my practice to a higher level. Keep up the great work.

    Very detailed and comprehensive course. Dr. Carvalho and Dr. Ortiz bring value to the class and makes it worth the time taken to travel. Concepts are clear and practical which should be put to use immediately after the class. They talk about things we do everyday but open our eyes on how they should be ideally performed without compromising patient care. They inspire to take our practice to a higher level

    I attended this class in New York in September 2019. This class was one of the bests continuing education classes I’ve taken because I was actually able to apply what I had learned straight when I got back to work. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Carvalho are super talented and extremely knowledgeable but also very humble and willing to share their tips. The class was broken down into two parts: a didactic one and a practical part where we were able to practice what we had learnt. I would really recommend this class regardless if you are a new graduate or have been in practice for a few years.

    The confidence and knowledge you need.

    This course prepares you very well to add adhesive restorations to your repertoire of treatment options be it anterior veneers or posterior onlay restorations. They won’t just teach you how to prepare them, but will also back it up with cold hard evidence as to why it is a better treatment option compared to conventional crown restorations.

    This course is a big eye opener to the dogmatic way we’re taught to do dentistry in school VS the new, and better, scientifically driven dentistry.

    Carlos and Miguel’s course was one of the best courses I’ve taken in a long time. The information was extremely relevant and useful.
    if you are geared towards becoming a good cosmetic dentist or a well informed evidence based restorative dentist, then this course is exactly what you need.
    Both instructors are very approachable and eager to teach , they thrive to do a great job so people can rave about their course like I am doing now.
    The course has a great didactic portion and an excellent hands on with plenty of practice time and critique.
    Looking forward to their next course.

    I attended this course in September 2019 In NYC and loved it so much.
    The beauty of this course that you don’t need to do more research and work after and it literally sets you ready to start implementing all what you learned in the clinic the next day.
    The presentation was impressive and full of beautiful pictures and videos.
    Dr. Carlos De Cavarlho is one of my favorite educators, super knowledgeable and humble. Dr. Ortiz is also one the hardest working educators and the amount of preparation and materials he presents in the course is amazing.
    I would highly recommend this course regardless of your level of expertise in cosmetic dentistry.

    Hands up to the best doctor!

    This course was MIND BLOWING and was not your typical course. It was research based and no part of the course was opinion. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. de Carvalho show that they took the time to carefully construct a course that goes beyond the dogmas of dentistry. I can confidently say that my career in dentistry has changed because of what I learned here. I left with a different thought process in how I approach cases, and it is all to better serve my community. I highly recommend any dental professional to sign up for this course ASAP because it will change the way you view dentistry! Thank you both for putting such a fantastic course together. It was truly inspiring!

    As dentists we are constantly being challenged against our own dogma and new and improved procedures to help make her patients lives better. What we learned a month ago may not even be relevant anymore. To responsibly practice dentistry means one has to go beyond the 9 to 5 commitment in the chair and seek knowledge. This responsibility is far reaching and extraordinarily time-consuming. What Miguel and Carlos have done in this course reaches all restorative dentists. They have taken the time and compassion for perfection and converted it into a two day course. A lot of courses are going to teach you how to become more successful financially maybe teach you a new technique. Discourse teaches you how to predict a plane and effectively perform bread-and-butter dentistry that you will use every single day. They explain to you down to the brand of adhesive how are you should be performing day-to-day dentistry. This course removes the confusion of what to use for your bond in dentistry. Ask yourself how many different brands and how many different companies make bonding agents? When was the last time a rep try to sell you on a new and improved version of something and trying to convince you that this new and improved things it’s better than what you’ve been using? Well Carlos and Miguel have done the research themselves spent the time looking at thousands of peer reviewed articles to lay the foundation for these two days. The information provided is invaluable and I’m sure will be ever-changing. If you’re not planning on taking this course Do the right thing and do the research yourself spend years roaming through papers, most of which were written by Carlos, And make the most responsible decisions for the patients you treat. After all there are people attached to those teeth and they trust that you are doing the best for them. So, ask yourself, “hey Mike doing the best for my patients right now? And if I’m not when am I going to schedule to take Miguel and Carlos the course?” I hope you make the right decision because I know I did.

    Dr Miguel and Dr Carlos are awesome. They have created a very unique course. Very well organized. Short simple and great hands on experience. I would highly recommend taking this course. Neither of them are bias towards any particular product or company. Everything is back by science and it leaves you wanting to learn more and having more and more educated questions hence why I’ll be taking version 2 of their newly launched course!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Miguel Ortiz , thru Instagram, I have practiced dentistry for 30 years, so I’m a little old school, but Justin McElroy at Midwest dental arts introduced me to Instagram, I was immediately taken back by the level of photography by Miguel , when I started dental photography 30 years ago I was using a Bellow lens and Kodachrome, how the times have changed, My first course with Miguel was his photography course, this course is a must for any dentist , you NEED to document what you do , and when you start looking at your photos you will only be inspired to do better. The next course I took was Adhesive Rehabilitation and tooth reduction with DR Miguel and Dr Carlos de Carvlho , it is a hands on course, very informative, and thier bur Kit from Komet makes it more simple, Now time to take on new knowledge with their Oepic occlusal course, Miguel is pretty amazing, I’ve been to a lot of CE thru the years, but you will be hard pressed to find someone who has the passion he has for helping other dentists, I have always felt there is no competition among colleagues, we are here to help each other FOR the patients , Dr Ortiz is a shining example of this , his Denlit inspires , his photography book inspires , and his courses inspire , as well as his love for his wife Colleen and his children , Thank you Miguel ?

    I was so lucky when I was added from the waiting list.
    The course was excellent, a lot of information was shared, the hands on was very helpful and had segments that were a really eye opening.
    Carlos is very knowledgeable and humble, you can feel his passion for teaching and sharing. His skills are a gift.
    Miguel is very knowledgeable also, he is a work in constant progress as a prosthodontist, as professional.
    I’m very happy I took this course.

    A large piece of my prosthodontics practice is cosmetic dentistry. Drs. Ortiz and de Carvalho worked synergistically together to teach the literature and clinical concepts to take my veneer practice to a higher level. It was a fun and informative course that I highly recommended!

    Carlos and Miguel put their heart into the course. Their passion and energy help to renew my love for dentistry and gave me a new perspective on what it means to be conservative. Hands on portion was the bomb and everything is backed by tons of literature. Thanks again guys, can’t wait for the new one!

    If you have not been to a CE course with either Dr. Ortiz or Dr. De Carvalho, you are really missing out. The two of them are very passionate about the content they share with you in the course and have done a great job of summarizing and reviewed the current literature for adhesive dentistry. The course has a fair amount of hands on training and the two of them are more than willing to answer any and all questions. I look forward to taking courses with this duo in the future.

    I attended this course in September in NYC. I had signed up for this course in January. Their courses fill up really fast!

    It was a wonderful two day course! So much learning to do and so much practicing as well. The first day Dr. Carlos de Carvalho blows your mind away with his awesome photography as well as how he has transformed people’s lives. He is very well read and backs up everything he says with updated scientific literature. He is also super humble and is happy to go out of the way to answer any questions you may have. Dr. Ortiz is his perfect partner. The yin to the yang! Both of them walk around the room answering questions, guiding you if you tend to get lost.

    Most workshops I have attended in my dental career have all been brand/product promotion. This was truly refreshing as this was just scientific based learning.

    The second day was Dr. Ortiz’s turn to impress. He didn’t disappoint! He had large shoes to fill after Dr. deCarvalho’s presentation but both of them stood out like two solid pillars supporting this course. I highly recommend this course if you are interested in bringing your game up or even looking to just shrug the burnout of everyday dentistry.

    Dr. Miguel Ortiz gave such wonderful tips on preparation design that you can apply right away to your practice. This course can be applied to dentistry we do the very next day in practice.

    Highly recommend this course! Looking forward to their “2.0” version of this course

    I took this course in June 2019 in Dallas, which coming from central Canada was not the easiest place to travel to. I was fortunate enough to get in off the waitlist as most of the Adhesive course dates had sold out far in advance and within a few days.

    I had been looking to find a course that was up to date with veneer preparations and adhesive preparations such as onlays and inlays. Having signing up based off of taking Dr. Ortiz’s photography course I was pretty much blown away within the first few hours of the class on the first day. Dr. Carlos de Carvalho’s portion on veneer preparations was incredible; the science to his methods, the evidence to back up his teachings, his precision and care was incredible. The hands on portion not only allowed us to practice what he taught, but then be critiqued by him to see where we could improve. Something as simple as the “veneer flip” that he taught us during cementing was something so simple, yet something no one had thought to do that was almost like a “mic drop” for the entire course (or exclamation point) and spoke to the skill and care that Dr. Carvalho has. Dr. Ortiz’s discussion on onlay preparations was equally as impressive and scientifically backed and as with day 1, allowed us to practice our skills and get critiqued before practicing with the techniques that we learnt.

    As a whole this course blew me away. In dental school our clinical training was exceptional, but the evidence to back up different methods is something we didn’t see that much. To see every detail be evidence based, to help put us in the mind set of practicing evidence based dentistry was awesome and something I was looking for. They forced us to ask the “why” in everything, but also then help to teach us the “why”.

    Would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn more about adhesive preparations and veneers!
