Improvements in composite polymerization shrinkage, reduction of internal stress and occlusal wear, have made composite material a great aesthetic option. This lecture will demonstrate a simplified method of restoring the fractured maxillary anterior central incisor with composite resin using the intraoral composite mock-up technique creating an imperceptible restoration. The lecture also will demonstrate step by step how to place posterior composites quickly and easily so that an aesthetic result with a high success rate and predictable outcome can be achieved.
Attendees can expect to be able to:
— Use a simplified method to restore the fractured maxillary anterior central incisor with composite resin and create an imperceptible restoration.
— Incorporate a simplified unishade composite system in your practice.
— Place sensitivity-free posterior composites quickly with sealed sub-gingival margins.
— Use high-strength, low-wear injectable composite to treat incisal and occlusal wear.
— Place composite in cervical (abfraction) lesions so they do not fall out.
— Predictably cement all Zirconia restorations.
— Learn many clinical tips and advanced skills in anterior and posterior composite placement that will promote your practice.
