Course Information
This lecture will review new materials and techniques in the field of adhesive and composite dentistry in an effort to improve your treatment outcomes. New generations of bonding agents continue to be produced, but are these new products really better than previous ones?
Drs. Kugel and Anderson will investigate the answer to this question, as well as other questions like: What are the limitations of the self etch bonding agents? What is a bioactive filling material and do you need it?
As part of this hands-on course composite layering techniques for anterior and posterior composite restorations will be demonstrated in detail.
This course will demonstrate methods for maximizing anterior esthetics using a simplified technique for composite placement.
Course participants will have the opportunity to:
- Create a composite veneer
- Perform a Class IV restoration
- Practice easy and reliable methods to restore posterior teeth
- Advantages & disadvantages of the different generations of bonding
- Self-etch and enamel bonds
- Actual testing of the bond strength using you own dental adhesive
- Avoiding post-operative sensitivity
- A review of current steps to decrease composite failure
- 6th and 7th generation bonding – are they really better?
- Bioactive direct restoratives
- 3 Step anterior and 2 step posterior composite layering
