Dental CE Course: A Simple and Predictable Approach to Inlays/Onlays and Direct Anterior Composites

A Simple and Predictable Approach to Inlays / Onlays: A Hands-on Course
This course is designed to familiarize doctors with a much more conservative approach for replacing amalgam restorations, rather than a full coverage crown. The hands-on portion will involve preparing indirect inlays and onlays or an inlay/onlay fiber reinforced bridge on typodonts using the All Purpose Esthetic Logic diamond bur set (value $130.00). Provisionals will be fabricated with temporary crown and bridge material and cemented as the final restoration with composite resin cement.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will have reviewed:
Philosophy, adhesion basics, preparation, temporization, cementation and polishing
Preparation of inlay and onlay on typodont
Provisionalization
Cementation of provisional (treated as final restoration)
Final contouring and polishing
Direct Anterior Composites - Applying the Techniques for the Newer Generation Of Composites: A Hands-on Experience
This course talks about the new generation of composite resins. Each doctor will prepare a class IV fracture on a typodont. We will fabricate a putty matrix stint from impression material to eliminate the need for interproximal bands. We will demonstrate the layering technique of the composite system using opaque, body and enamel shades to correct the Class IV fracture. Afterwards, with the new polishing systems we will show how well the new micro hybrid composites can polish.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will have reviewed:
Advantages of the new micro/matrix composites, proper layering techniques, polishing and finishing
Preparation of a class IV fracture on a typodont
Fabrication of putty matrix stint
Proper layering technique
Final contouring and polishing
