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 opacitie 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 techniques presented in the lecture.
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.
