Event Details...

Renowned dental clinician and educator, Dr Andrea Shepperson, will discuss the material advantages and limitations of a variety of materials of choice for the restoration of the posterior space.

Dr Shepperson will discuss and demonstrate, in an afternoon workshop, the placement procedure of a bulk fill composite material.

Why attend?

  • To learn to create predictable, efficient, long-lasting posterior restorations based on the choices of restorative materials available – composite, porcelain-fused-to-metal and all ceramic

Learning objectives:

To be able to confidently select between composite and porcelain restorations in different clinical situations, understanding the advantages and disadvantages of your selection.

  • Deciphering the array of materials available today, including in-house or lab-milled CAD/CAM options
  • The growing role of monolithic restorations and why they are preferred
  • The versatility of composite resin for cost effective rehabilitation
  • Why enamel preservation is desirable but unprotected cusps are not
  • Preparing teeth for all ceramic restorations, obtaining correct reduction and margin design
  • Cementation techniques and bonding without post-operative sensitivity
  • Occlusal adjustment, polishing and finishing the various restorative options
  • Communicating preferences with your laboratory

Who should attend?
