This full-day lecture course will be of value to all clinical members of the dental team. Dr Knight will update you on a broad range of issues in the management and repair of carious tooth structure.

Topics to be covered:

• An overview of the caries-host interaction and how this can be applied to improve your standard of restorative dentistry.
• Simple yet effective protocols for the ongoing management of caries and periodontal disease.
• A new type of glass ionomer cement that enables the painless and rapid management of caries.
• Conservative cavity designs based on the pharmacological management of caries that will dramatically expand the parameters of minimal intervention dentistry.
• Evidence-based technique to enhance the disinfection of root canals prior to obturation.
• A dental adhesive system that enables placement of polymerization stress-free composite restorations , protects against marginal caries and has bond strengths comparable to its competitors.
• Time saving techniques that combine the biomimetic properties of glass ionomer cements with the wear resistance and aesthetics of composite resin to optimize the longevity of direct restorations.
• Innovative ideas for placing proximal and occlusal matrices to create predictable contact areas, functional anatomical occlusal contours and dramatic reductions in placement times. .
• Minimally invasive replacement of missing teeth.
• Offer your patients a low cost minimally invasive alternative to implants. The internally retained indirect bridge is fast to prepare, simple to insert and has a high degree of predictability. This is a procedure very popular with patients and a great practice builder.
