The Dawson Academy, an internationally known provider of postgraduate dental education, has launched a new online learning platform featuring its Fundamentals of Functional Esthetic Dentistry programme.
The four-part, on-demand programme provides approximately 16 hours of education and up to 13.5 continuing education (CE) credits.
What Is the Course About?
Rather than focusing only on cosmetic procedures, the course takes a functional + esthetic approach to dentistry.
The curriculum covers:
- Comprehensive examination and record taking
- Occlusal analysis
- Functional occlusion
- Smile design
- Treatment planning
- Digital dental workflows
- Clinical implementation
The programme is designed to help dentists connect diagnosis, function and esthetics when planning comprehensive cases.
Who Is It For?
The programme may be particularly useful for general dentists and clinicians interested in restorative, esthetic and comprehensive dentistry, especially those looking to strengthen their approach to:
- Complex treatment planning
- Occlusion
- Smile design
- Full-mouth rehabilitation
- Digital workflows
- Functional and esthetic restorative cases
Is It Internationally Accredited?
This is an important distinction.
The programme is offered by The Dawson Academy, an international postgraduate dental education provider,. However, the available official course information does not clearly state that this specific programme is ADA CERP-accredited or AGD PACE-approved.
Therefore, dentists should verify whether the CE credits are recognised by their local dental regulatory authority before enrolling specifically for licence-renewal requirements.
