Inside the course
Philosophy and planning
A short introduction to the Lite concept and its materials precedes a three-hour module on clinical protocols, working with the planning centre, patient documentation and how digital tools sharpen diagnosis.
Round-table case debates
Over three hours of discussions between specialists examine real cases and show how different clinicians reason through restorative problems.
The technique, step by step
Three practical modules cover the injection sequence and quality checks for each phase, field preparation with index and isolation, and the composite build-up through finishing, surface texture and occlusal integration.
Selling the result, then seeing it live
A half-hour module deals with marketing and presenting value; the closing module pairs a lecture delivered with a live patient and a complete walkthrough of the protocol from records to final restorations.

Before you buy
Can I follow the planning module without a DSD subscription?
The principles apply generally, but the workflow is presented around the DSD Planning Center, so some steps assume that service.
Are individual lesson titles available?
Only module titles and durations are given; the 25 lessons are spread across the eight modules.
How much is discussion versus demonstration?
Roughly three hours are round-table case discussions, while the technique, preparation, finishing and live modules add up to about six hours of clinical content.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
