Overview:
Composite demands attention to detail but that doesn’t mean composites cannot be placed in a timely manner, be profitable and give the dentist pride in a job well done. The biggest challenge is maintaining isolation throughout composite placement. A rubber dam is considered ideal by many but it cannot always be used. The good news isolation can be accomplished without a rubber dam even in very difficult areas such as second molars.
Using a simple tofflemire a tight Class II contact is readily possible. If the embrasure space is wide and/or there is deep root decay, a tight contact can be fabricated with a tofflemire set up. Equally tight contacts on both sides of a MOD’s predictable every time. Again, accomplished with a tofflemire setup. Furthermore, all contacts described above made without the use of traditional aggressive wedging.
Mylar strips and wedges make undesirable black triangles and are terrible at isolating the prep. Class III and Class IV preps can be isolated and emergence contours can be burnished into the matrix with a tofflemire. Yes, a tofflemire is an excellent choice for anteriors.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Accomplish excellent isolation for Class II, Class III, and Class IV composites.
• Customize the matrix to fashion ideal emergence contours for Class II and Class IV composites.
• Fabricate predictable tight contacts on any variety of Class II and Class IV composites.
• Completely isolate and provide access to sub gingival Class V preps.
Note: The fee to view this course is $36. This cost includes the fee to take the exam and claim your CE credits.
