🩺 Dr Payman’s Advanced Training in Italy

At DentalCareXtra, we’re committed to ongoing professional development and the continual improvement of patient care. We’re pleased to share that Dr. Payman has recently completed an advanced clinical residency at the Zirkonzahn campus in South Tyrol, Italy, focusing on restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

Training in the Heart of the Italian Alps

Located in the Aurina Valley of South Tyrol, the Zirkonzahn campus is internationally recognised for its education in dental technology and prosthodontics. Founded by dental technician Enrico Steger, Zirkonzahn provides training that integrates digital workflows with traditional craftsmanship, emphasising precision, planning, and attention to detail.

This program enabled participants to explore a blend of design, technology, and manual techniques to support accurate, functionally sound, and aesthetically guided restorations.

Comprehensive Clinical Experience

During the residency, Dr Payman completed extensive hands-on training, including over 1,000 crown and veneer preparations, under the supervision of Zirkonzahn’s instructors.

The mentorship-based program provided structured feedback and opportunities for refinement of restorative techniques through guided practice, helping to further strengthen consistency, precision, and clinical planning skills.

Advancing Skills in Digital Dentistry

The residency also included in-depth exposure to digital dentistry workflows, such as:

  • CAD/CAM design and milling processes

  • Digital scanning and modelling techniques

  • 3D printing applications in restorative dentistry

  • Integration of digital systems with traditional fabrication methods

These experiences contribute to ongoing professional development and support evidence-based approaches to treatment planning and patient care.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation Expertise

One of the key areas of focus in Dr Payman’s residency was full mouth rehabilitation, a discipline involving the restoration of multiple teeth to improve function, comfort, and appearance.
These complex cases require a strong understanding of occlusion, aesthetics, and treatment planning — skills that Dr Payman further developed throughout his time in Italy.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a recognised field within restorative dentistry and can support patients who experience significant wear, damage, or functional issues. Dr Payman’s participation in this advanced program has broadened his knowledge and technical ability to manage comprehensive treatment plans safely and effectively.
