Course Description
Direct composite restorations are among the most frequently performed restorative procedures. Today, dentists have several options for consistently generating ideal inter-proximal contact and eliminating post operative sensitivity. There are several key elements that will determine the success of direct esthetic restorations including tooth preparation, material choice, placement technique, and curing method.
In this course, you will learn how each element can play a role in creating the best long-term direct composite restorations. We will review modern preparation design and when and where to use total-etch and self-etch adhesive systems. Additional topics will include proper composite selection and placement techniques, anatomical contouring, and finishing and polishing to achieve long lasting esthetic restorations.
