A full-day course includes half-day lecture & half-day hands-on workshop
Course objectives:
Achieving realistic & aesthetic anterior composites resin restorations can be a challenge even for the best general dental practitioner. This is often due to a number of barriers throughout the clinical process. This course aims to address these in a practical way which dentists can then use in their everyday scenarios.

We aim to enhance our delegates understanding of the shape and morphology of the anterior dentition, the various methods of shade selection, instrument selection and tips on an easy, predictable use, provide a step-by-step approach to contouring and polishing, as well as using a layering technique to mimic the natural dentition.

A majority of the day will be dedicated to hands-on exercise on extracted teeth, learning the concepts behind building a natural anterior restoration, maximizing the aesthetics of the composite resin using various techniques including the traditional putty key technique as well as various novel emergency appointment style approaches to anterior restorations that dentists can use in ‘every day’ situations.

What is needed: Loupes & Headlight

Hands on:
Participants will complete 2 anterior restorations by the end of the course, one of which done via the traditional putty key method, and the other using a variety of techniques to simulate the “emergency style” or “limited time” approach.

This course is limited to 20 participants, with access to both speakers throughout the day
