Excellence in Composite Restorations (Oct 03 - 05, 2024)
hosted bySpear EducationExcellence in Composite Restorations is organized by Spear Education and will be held from Oct 03 - 05, 2024 at Spear Education, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America.
Workshop Overview:
3-Day Lecture/Hands-On:
Direct resin can produce functional, highly aesthetic long-lasting restorations, which are conservative of tooth structure. However, with the rise of aesthetic dentistry in the media, the public as consumers are becoming increasingly discerning: they expect and demand the best.
Learn key concepts such as shade selection and micro and macro-anatomy and pull them together into a simple step-by-step protocol which includes treatment planning, fee setting, diagnostics, preparation, composite placement and finishing, allowing you to achieve outstanding results on a consistent basis.
What you will learn at this workshop:
• Shade selection: demystify the science and use it as a practical everyday tool.
• Translucency, opacity and opalescence: why all composite resin is not created equal.
• A simple, rapid, yet novel concept to make incisal edge shade and effects obvious and effortless.
• How to quickly and inexpensively fabricate diagnostic mock-ups and palatal silicone indices to achieve precise incisal edge position and restore worn palatal surfaces.
• Simple, intuitive finishing protocols, to produce highly, polished restorations, which mimic natural enamel.
• How to layer resin to create lifelike incisal halos and effects such as crack lines and opacities.
• How to prep, place and finish class 2 restorations which have firm proximal contacts, require little occlusal adjustment and have no post-op sensitivity.
Topics and exercises:
• Anatomic layering of multiple composite veneers.
• Restoring the large class IV.
• Restoring the correct chroma and value to discolored teeth with direct composite.
• Managing the diastema with composite resin.
• Place a direct palatal and facial veneer to restore worn teeth.
• The Class II simple and efficient with composite resin.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
