Dr. Mehrdad Razaghy

Description:
In this lecture, we will review our latest biomimetic checklist and highlight the most effective uses of resin in everyday dentistry. We will summarize key points that enable practitioners to maximize their knowledge and application of additive dentistry. Topics will include our diagnostic workflow and current preventive measures, as well as the role of photography in designing anterior cases using our latest protocol, “DDD.”

We will take a deep dive into direct resin composite restorations and explore resin’s versatility—from its reliability as a medium for delivering indirect restorations, including deep margin elevation, to the use of today’s advanced printed resins for creating functional mock-ups prior to full-mouth rehabilitations.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply the biomimetic checklist for resin in everyday procedures
• Incorporate photography for case design
• Understand DDD (Dentofacial Digital Diagnostics)
• Perform additive anterior resin restorations
• Use resin in indirect restorations (delivery medium + deep margin elevation)
• Recognize the role of printed resin in functional and esthetic rehabilitations

Biography

Shortly after completion of his bachelor's degree at University of California Los Angeles, Dr. Razaghy spent a year focusing on his research in the field of neurosurgery and was part of six major publications at David Geffen School of Medicine of UCLA.

His passion for creation and research carried through his path in dentistry and allowed him to be involved in various research projects. Mehrdad’s journey in dental research began by joining Dr. Pascal Magne’s research laboratory at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC. Since then, besides teaching, Mehrdad has been part of multiple projects, alongside international visiting scholars, under the mentorship of Dr. Pascal Magne. His focus has been on biomimetic and minimally invasive restorative techniques and dental materials. He has been part of publications in the esteemed Journal of Dental Materials and International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry and practices general and restorative dentistry at Mehrdad Razaghy DDS Inc, a private practice in Beverly Hills.

Dr. Razaghy is an active lecturer in the U.S. and currently teaches multiple continuing education modules in the fields of biomimetic dentistry, dental photography, additive dentistry, digital smile design, rubber dam isolation, and bonded porcelain ceramic restorations.
