Restorative materials: What, Where, When and How Part 2
UNLIMITED ENROLMENT
This program will review current restorative materials and the rationale for
selection and clinical use of the most appropriate material in varying clinical
situations. The confusion between marketing and evidence-based dentistry will
be made clear. Aspects to be discussed include: selection of adhesive systems;
microfill, hybrid and nanofilled composites; glass ionomers, resin modified glass
ionomers and compomers as liners, luting agents and restoratives; bleaching;
direct pulp capping with calcium hydroxide or adhesive agents; biocompatibility
of tooth colored restorations; esthetic alternatives such as indirect composite,
porcelain inlays/onlays/crowns and their clinical techniques. The application of
color in dentistry, principles of smile design and clinical restoration of cosmetic
cases for the general dentist will be described and illustrated in detail. Updated
information on bisphosphonates in dentistry will be presented.
LIMITED ENROLMENT
30 Participants
This session will enable the participant to confidently and accurately determine
shades and accomplish simple and complex restorations using composite resin.
This hands-on session will allow participants to restore Class I and Class II
posterior composites with dentin and enamel replacement, occlusal groove resin
tints and the optimal matrix system. In addition, a Class IV and anterior facial
composite veneer will be restored with lifelike translucency, dentin and enamel
replacement, enamel craze lines and characterization. Finishing and polishing
techniques will be refined to ensure maximum esthetics and longevity of the
restorations.
