Day 1: Simplifying Aesthetic Anterior Composite Resins Achieving excellent aesthetic and functional results when restoring anterior teeth Beginning with a lecture covering the relevant physical properties required of composites to be used for restoring anterior teeth, this oneday course explores the concepts of colour as they relate to tooth shade selection. As there are presently so many options on the market, the importance of opacity/translucency as distinct from colour alone will be explained to assist participants in selecting composite systems for use in their own practices. Finally, the multi-layered approach to restoring anterior teeth using varying opacities of composites will be demonstrated together with simplified techniques for build-up, finishing and polishing. The practical exercises in this course will give participants the opportunity to restore typodont teeth utilising a multi-shaded, aesthetic composite system and the layering techniques presented in the lecture. Course topics: • Current composite resin technologies and systems designed for aesthetic, single and multi-layered build-up techniques • Shade selection- understanding colour and teeth • A simplified approach to multi-layered anterior composite restorations • Finishing and polishing techniques for microfill, microhybrid, and nanocomposites • Can composite resins restore adequate function and aesthetics?
Dr Michael Mandikos Day 2: The Perfect Posterior Composites for You and Your Patients Direct techniques for minimising sensitivity and obtaining perfect contacts This course will address the main causes of postoperative sensitivity with posterior composites, and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it occurring. This will include a discussion on cavity design and restorative material placement as well as the role of self-etching dentine bonding systems, glass ionomers and flowable resins. Course topics: • How does the cavity position and design affect prognosis? • Is there an advantage in switching to self-etching dentine bonding systems? • Liners and bases- do we still need them in the age of adhesive dentistry?
• Indications for choosing between composite and ceramics
• Which composites are best suited to posterior applications?
• Are composite restorations cost-effective for the patient and the dentist?
• What is the role of Bulk Fill Composites? – are they the future? • Getting tight contacts- matrix systems for posterior restorations
• Clinical examples to illustrate techniques for easier practice
• Instrumentation for posterior composites
• Understand different treatment modalities for gingival recession defects.
• Finishing and polishing procedures. During hands-on exercises, participants will have the opportunity to practice composite placement in typodont teeth using the materials and techniques discussed.
• Understand how good planning can minimise complications. • sockets. At the completion of the course, attendees should have a greater understanding of the newer composite technologies available to achieve excellent aesthetic and functional results when restoring anterior teeth.
