Get ecstatic about composites Direct restorations made easy Brief
Learning outcomes
Direct composite restorations of anterior and posterior teeth are a very desirable treatment choice for clinicians motivated to provide affordable conservative, functional and long-lasting aesthetic solutions. The quality and longevity of composite restorations have improved significantly over the past decades because of enhancements in composite physical and optical properties along with significant developments in adhesive technology.
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:
Using improved clinical techniques and state-of-the-art composite systems, clinicians can create beautiful restorations that mimic natural tooth structure and meet their patients’ highest expectations. This course is intended to enhance knowledge and clinical skills in direct composite procedures, based on scientifically valid information and personal clinical experience. The main goal is to share with practitioners a clinically conservative and predictable approach applicable in daily practice. The program will review and provide take home techniques to implement with confidence. Posterior restorations will be reviewed through step-bystep clinical examples demonstrating how to place wellsealed, long-lasting posterior composites replicating natural morphology. Simple and applicable solutions to common problems will be presented, allowing the dentist to immediately understand how to improve the quality of restorations and ensure patients’ comfort and satisfaction. Anterior restorations will be discussed with a strong emphasis on understanding polychromatic shading. Clinicians will learn how to create natural looking restorations based on optical properties of composite materials and tooth structure.

Presenter Dr Cathia Bergeron Dr Cathia Bergeron received her DMD degree from Laval University in Québec, Canada, in 1993. The following year, she completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) at the same institution. In 1999, she received a Certificate in Operative Dentistry and a Master of Science degree from the University of Iowa, USA. Dr Bergeron is currently Professor of Operative Dentistry at Laval University where she also serves as Dean. She maintains a university practice limited to operative dentistry with a strong emphasis on esthetic dentistry. Her primary interests are in the areas of aesthetics, composite resins, dental adhesion and minimally invasive dentistry. Dr Bergeron shares her expertise in direct restorative procedures through numerous lectures and hands-on courses in Canada and internationally.
