Dr. Sohyun-su’s Seminar Lecture on Anterior Resin Build-Up

Last weekend, there was a seminar on anterior resin build-up.

Dr. Ana, who is well known in Brazil for resin treatment

(with an Instagram following of as many as 70,000👏🏻),

came to Korea to give the lecture.

It was an international academic event attended not only by dentists in Korea,

but also by dentists from various countries,

including the United States, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Looking at the atmosphere that filled the lecture hall,

I could really feel that this seminar went beyond simply being a “lecture by a famous speaker”

and showed how high the level of interest in anterior resin had become worldwideㅎㅎ

My lecture, and the direction of the talk

I also was responsible for giving a lecture at this seminar for about an hour and a half.

Although this was an event centered on a foreign speaker’s lecture,

rather than simply introducing overseas techniques as they are,

I focused on anterior resin build-up that can be applied in Korea’s actual clinical environment

and on the process of producing results in clinical practice.

Anterior resin may look easy from a single photo, but

in an actual clinic it is an extremely demanding treatment that requires considering many factors at once,

such as tooth angle, gingival line,

subtle proportions, and occlusion.

So rather than saying,

“This is how you do it in theory,”

I focused on practical points such as

“Which aspects require extra attention,

and where mistakes are likely to happen.”

We took a photo together after the lecture^^

Why is ‘build-up’ important for front teeth?

When performing anterior resin treatment,

it quickly becomes clear that simply filling a space

is completely different from actually ‘creating’ the shape.

Front teeth are an area where even a slight excess stands out,

and even a slight lack looks awkward.

That is why, in anterior resin build-up,

while minimizing removal,

the process of layering resin is important so that

the tooth blends in naturally,

as if it had always been that shape from the beginning.

Because there is no fixed correct answer to this process,

in the end, the results inevitably reflect how much you have thought about it

and how many cases you have actually created yourself^^

Familiar faces, continuing connections

At this seminar, Dr. Jeong Seok-hwan,

with whom I will be giving a Qray lecture on January 31,

also attended.

I’m giving another lecture this weekend too^^

After the lecture, we had a brief conversation

and were able to share our lecture directions and thoughts.

I always feel that seminars are meaningful because

encounters like this lead to future learning and collaboration.

Also, on February 23, at the Korean Association of Clinical Periodontology,

I will be holding a seminar and hands-on session for senior dentists,

under the topic ‘Aesthetic Restoration of Anterior Teeth Using Composite Resin.’

(They say this meeting has the highest number of registrations ever,

and I can really feel the senior dentists’ strong enthusiasm for front-tooth resin treatment,

which makes the responsibility feel especially great💪🏻)

Dr. Ana’s visit to Jaejoo Good Dental Clinic

During the seminar schedule, Dr. Ana

also visited Jaejoo Good Dental Clinic in personㅎㅎ

We toured the clinic space, looked at the treatment environment,

discussed anterior resin treatment,

and took commemorative photos together.

A speaker who is active overseas visiting a dental clinic in Korea in person

and asking questions about the treatment flow and techniques

left a very strong impression on me as well.

It made me think that the field of anterior resin treatment has now reached a stage

where experiences can be shared across borders.

That is why, whenever I stand on the stage at an academic conference or seminar,

there is always a principle I remind myself of.

A dentist’s skill should be proven not by flashy words,

but only by the ‘process and results.’

That is why,

every time I meet a patient in the clinic,

I ask myself:

“Even if this treatment were later shown in front of fellow dentists,

could I be completely proud of it without any shame?”

Rich experience in anterior resin treatment is, in fact,

a record of time spent repeatedly considering and revising things

while striving for perfection.

I believe that all of those processes accumulate

and create the results we have now.

It was posted on Ana’s storyㅎㅎ✌🏻✌🏻

The techniques I encounter overseas, the discussions we share at conferences,

and the questions and answers at seminars

ultimately return to the clinic

and become a valuable foundation for treating patients’ front teeth.

My goal is to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible,

while also helping patients regain confidence when they smile,

and after treatment,

to give them the pleasant assurance that

“Now I understand why people come to Jaejoo Good Dental Clinic for front-tooth treatment.”

Going forward, Jaejoo Good Dental Clinic will continue to be a place

that constantly reflects, grows,

and approaches clinical care with a spirit of inquiry in both practice and academics. Thank you.^^
