In this one day, hands-on program, Michael will provide an update on what is new in posterior composites (including the indiocations and use of bulk placement techniques), Impression Materials, All-Ceramic Restorations, Provisional Materials and Cements. Specifically, he will address the common problems of post-operative sensitivity in posterior composites and how newer materials can assist to prevent this. Michael will demonstrate a technique for fabrication of quality provisional in those last few moments of the prep appointment, and also how to ensure you get your impressions right, every time. There will also be content on bonding and cementation systems and case examples of the different techniques for cementing various all-ceramic restorations.
This full day program will alternate between lectures and hands-on exercises, ensuring all attendees are well versed in these new materials and techniques by the end of the course.
During this lecture program you will learn about the latest advancements in dentine bonding agents and ultra-low shrinkage composite resins. See how these materials can be implemented into your practice, bringing with them the benefits of lower polymerisation shrinkage and decreased stresses to the tooth. Post-operative sensitivity can be resigned to the past and these technologies will help to further improve the prognosis of the tooth and the longevity of these conservative restorations. In this presentation, you will see how these principles can be applied to anterior and posterior restorations.

This course will address the main causes of postoperative sensitivity with posterior composites, and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it occurring. this will include a discussion on cavity design and restorative material placement as well as the role of self-etching dentine bonding systems, glass ionomers and flowable resins.
Beginning with a lecture covering the relevant physical properties required of composites to be used for restoring anterior teeth, this one-day course explores the concepts of colour as they relate to tooth shade selection. As there are presently so many options on the market, the importance of opacity/translucency as distinct from colour alone will be explained to assist participants in selecting composite systems for use in their own practices.
Finally, the multi-layered approach to restoring anterior teeth using varying opacities of composites will be demonstrated together with simplified techniques for build-up, finishing and polishing. the practical exercises in this course will give participants the opportunity to restore typodont teeth utilising a multi-shaded, aesthetic composite system and the layering technique presented in the lecture
Our patients frequently present with molar teeth exhibiting old restorations with fracture lines clearly visible in the remaining enamel. Sometimes these teeth have symptoms, but other times they do not. the clinical question is: "Should we be intervening and restoring these teeth now before something happens?" Is there any evidence to support such a decision, or is it just overtreatment? Should we leave these teeth or just restore them?
This unique two day hands on program will answer all of these questions and more!

ADA NSW, in collaboration with Unconventional Conventions, will be running an accredited conference program onboard the Antarctica cruise.
A total of 30 conference hours will be spread across the 10 day voyage. Conference sessions will be adjusted to ensure maximum time can be spent in Antarctica. Sessions will generally be held over lunch, and during sea days.
This conference is a combined medical and dental conference, with topics such as emergency medicine (including CPR) to be delivered to all delegates, and a seperate dental stream.
This course will address the main causes of postoperative sensitivity with posterior composites, and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it occurring. This will include a discussion on cavity design and restorative material placement as well as the role of self-etching dentine bonding systems, glass ionomers and flowable resins.
During hands-on exercises, participants will have the opportunity to practice composite placement in typodont teeth using the materials and techniques discussed.

At the completion of the course, attendees should have a greater understanding of the newer composite technologies available to achieve excellent aesthetic and functional results when restoring anterior teeth.
"Demystifying Indirect Art & Science"
This course will comprise three sections. The first will address the frequent clinical dilemma of deciding when a tooth can be restored with a partial coverage onlay, or whether it will require a crown. Guidelines will be provided to assist the clinician in the decision-making process, as well as helpful hints and tips on how to prepare a tooth for an onlay and how to cement that onlay correctly. A workshop on preparation, provisionalisation and cementation of an onlay will follow.
Part two of the course will address the theory behind posts – when to use them, how to use them and what material they should be made from. A practical exercise will provide the attendees with experience using self-adhesive universal cements to place posts into root forms.
The final part of this course will provide an overview for the clinician on the basic restorative stages for a single tooth implant. An overview of the treatment planning process, surgical guide, impression-taking and crown delivery stages will be provided.
