This course will be an intense hands-on experience for all practitioners wishing to upgrade their skills in posterior bonded restorations in direct, semi-direct and indirect techniques.
The growing demand of patients for esthetic or metal-free restorations, together with the ongoing interest of the dental profession for tissue-preserving materials have led to the development of posterior adhesive restorations. It is now clearly established, that a new biomimetic approach to restorative dentistry is possible through the structured use of "tooth-like" restorative materials, such as composite resins and porcelain, and the use of hard tissue bond, such as enamel and dentin bonding. Scientific studies and clinical evidence have validated the use of bonded tooth-colored restorations. We have entered the "post-amalgam era". This course will present the foundations of this evolution.
Discover the bonded approach to posterior restorations.
What to expect:
Based on maximum tissue preservation and the "biomimetic principle" (biomechanics) a model for the optimal use of current restorative systems will be presented using scientific evidence and clinical experience.
This very intense hands-on course emphasizes on:
- Fabrication of direct, semi-direct and indirect CAD/CAM restorations
- Advantages of bonded restorations over traditional approaches
- The biomimetic principle
- Dentin bonding protocol: rationale for an immediate dentin sealing protocol
- Preparation design; Principles of tooth preparation for bonded restorations;
- Luting procedures for bonded restorations
- All about for composite restorations and layering techniques
- Preparation and fabrication of class II, and onlay restorations
Testimonials:
I learned treatment approaches substantiated by research. Long term photographic case documentation further supported treatment validity. I have confidence to improve what I offer clients! Thank you!
