Freehand Diastema Closure

Course Type: Hands-on Participation Course

Description

When closing midline diastemas with composite, it can be a challenge to achieve proper width, marginal staining, gingival emergence profiles and overhangs. Matrix bands can produce long, flat contacts, and wedges may lead to unsightly black triangles. This live virtual hands-on participation course focuses on Dr. Margeas’ simplified technique that quickly establishes ideal width, proximal contacts and contours without removing any tooth structure and requires minimal finishing. Learn and perform polishing and surface texturing that will further produce predictably natural-looking long-term restorations.

Learning Objectives 

• Learn how to use the pull-through technique for tight diastema contacts.
• Learn a finishing and polishing technique to prevent white lines.
• Learn the ideal technique for shade selection.
