The Keys to Efficiently Creating Functional, Esthetic and Long-Lasting Composite Restorations
April 20 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm EDT
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This presentation will discuss how each element will play a critical role in the professional’s decision-making process when determining which materials, systems and techniques are best to utilize when placing direct composite restorations. This program will review modern preparation design and how best to approach adhesion based on clinical circumstances. Focus will include quadrant-based efficiency, generating consistently tight interproximal contacts and what is most important during light curing. Additional topics will include proper composite selection and placement techniques, anatomical contouring, finishing, and polishing, all of which are essential clinical components to achieving long lasting esthetic restorations.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, each participant will be competent in:
- The latest on preparation design
- Indications for direct composites restorations
- Technique tips for efficient isolation and generating ideal anatomic interproximal contacts
- Understanding of adhesion, current products and their function in modern day dentistry
- Insights into light curing and importance of operator variability
- Techniques tips for handling and placement of modern composites
- Polishing and sealing techniques for long term durability
