PD Dr.
Adham Elsayed
Clinical Questions. Evidence. Practical Techniques.
Many of the questions I teach today began at the treatment chair: How much tooth structure do we really need to remove? When can we trust adhesive alternatives? Which material is appropriate for which indication, and why?
Today, 24 publications and a Habilitation later, I combine clinical practice with university teaching, dental-materials research and professional education.
My educational work focuses on areas where scientific evidence, restorative materials and everyday clinical decisions meet. Rather than presenting techniques in isolation, I aim to explain the reasoning behind indications, treatment planning, material selection and clinical execution, including where limitations and uncertainties remain.
Lectures and programmes can be developed for congresses, professional societies, universities, study groups, postgraduate programmes and dental organisations.
I consider myself incredibly lucky, that I had Dr. Elsayed among my training supervisors! Someone from whom I’ve learned a lot and who was always there for his students. An extremely good dentist — on expertise as well as on human level!

Formats
Choose your format *
Congress lecture or keynote
A focused clinical topic, illustrated with cases and a critical discussion of the evidence and its limits.
Seminar or team training
Half-day or full-day teaching with case discussion, adapted to the audience’s level, clinical questions and learning goals.
Hands-on workshop
Guided practice of selected restorative techniques and protocols, with time for hands-on work, questions and feedback.
Live treatment
Treatment on a real patient in front of the audience, with commentary. The format that shows what a slide cannot.
University module or Master’s teaching
Teaching inside an existing curriculum or Master’s programme: a defined module on esthetic and adhesive dentistry, delivered to the syllabus, the learning objectives and the examination format.
Webinar or online session
A live online lecture or case discussion for a distributed audience, with questions taken in the session and a recording where the organiser allows one.
* More individual formats can be tailored. Subject to clinical suitability and appropriate facilities.
Insights
Clinical insights for Patients and Dental Professionals
For patients: clear explanations of treatment choices and what to expect. For dental professionals: evidence-led discussion of clinical decisions, materials and protocols.
Topics
Educational programme
Examples of current lecture, seminar, hands-on and live-treatment topics. Delivery is subject to clinical suitability and appropriate facilities.
Live-treatment courses
Clinical intensives on selected patients
Advanced, small-group courses in which participants follow a complete workflow on carefully selected patients, from records and mock-up through guided preparation to supervised adhesive placement. Clinical participation depends on prerequisites, case suitability and local regulatory requirements.
Lectures and keynotes
Less Is More: Minimal Intervention Aesthetics in Everyday Practice
Composite, veneers, partial restorations, resin-bonded bridges and crowns compared through a practical tissue-preservation framework.
Beyond the Ceramic Jungle: The Right Material for the Right Case
Glass-ceramics, zirconia generations and resin-matrix ceramics translated into an indication-based decision pathway.
Cement or Bond? The Clinical Decision Matrix
Conventional, self-adhesive or fully adhesive, chosen by restoration material, preparation, substrate and isolation.
Smile Design Without the Software: From Analysis to Mock-Up
Photography, structured smile analysis, wax-up and mock-up turned into a testable three-dimensional preview.
Aesthetic Implant Prosthodontics: From Abutment Choice to Final Crown
Abutment materials, screw-retained and cemented designs, Ti-base workflows and emergence-profile management.
Direct Anterior Composite: Injection, Layering or a Combination?
Choosing and executing the right direct-composite workflow for diastema closure, shape correction, fractures and additive veneers, with the emphasis on morphology, optics, finishing and realistic maintenance.
Seminars and hands-on
Ceramic Veneers From Mock-Up to Cementation
Mock-up, controlled preparation, provisionalisation, try-in and simulated adhesive cementation, with measurable reduction.
A–Z Treatment Planning: Practical Backward Evidence-Based Planning
Diagnose, define the endpoint, compare alternatives and defend a complete plan under realistic constraints.
Photography, Smile Analysis & Design
Clinical photography, smile analysis, laboratory communication, wax-up and mock-up as one workflow.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation by Decisions, Not Recipes
Risk assessment, restorative space, additive testing, material choice, sequencing and maintenance for the worn dentition.
Mastering Direct Anterior Composite Restorations
Flowable injection and polychromatic layering, then anatomy, texture and polish as reproducible clinical steps.
Minimally Invasive Restorations: From Case Selection to Bonding
Immediate dentin sealing, margin elevation and cavity design, with the limits of each technique defined.
Advanced programmes
Contemporary Esthetic and Adhesive Dentistry Mastery
A modular academy covering the complete contemporary fixed-prosthodontic workflow, from diagnosis and mock-up to preparation, scanning, provisionalisation and definitive placement, combining evidence-based theory with deliberate practical training.
Testimonials
Patient, Participant and Colleague Perspectives
Former Student
“I consider myself incredibly lucky, that I had Dr. Elsayed among my training supervisors! Someone from whom I’ve learned a lot and who was always there for his students. An extremely good dentist — on expertise as well as on human level!”
Former Student
“I am a dentist and during my studies Dr. Elsayed was my supervisor. He is a very knowledgeable, competent and skilled dentist and teacher. He is also great as a person. If he had his practice in Hamburg, I would never go to another dentist.”
Former Student
“Adham was my supervisor and my dentist’s role model. He managed to keep the balance between professionalism and friendship. You knew you can rely on his words because you know what he was talking about. Up until today I can reach out to him which is very comforting, especially at the beginning of my career.”
Former Student
“Adham is a good structured, precise working dentist with a good sense of humor. As a resident, he always brought the best out of us, to get the best possible result. With his extraordinary understanding of dentistry and human knowledge, there weren’t any problems he couldn’t solve. I am very grateful to have learned from him!”
Former Student
“When I was a student, Adham was my supervisor. In confusing situations, he always calmly mediated a good solution. Despite his relatively young age, he was always characterized by his almost endless repertoire of knowledge.”
