Composite materials continue to evolve and the Clinician has a great choice when it comes to modern systems. Some composites seem to be better suited to aesthetics, some to function and some claim to have universal applications. It is true that when composites are used correctly, they will provide long-lasting, aesthetic restorations, that will biomechanically reinforce the tooth. They just need to be used correctly.
This program has been designed to teach the relevant composite materials science and clinical techniques, to allow the Clinician to understand how to select and how to use modern composite materials, for simple and predictable outcomes.
If you are not sure which type of composite is best for you, what properties to look for, how to create long-lasting and sensitivity free restorations, that are also predict- ably aesthetic, then this master-class is for you.
One of the biggest restorative challenges for the new graduate is being able to assess when a tooth is best served with an indirect restoration. This course covers the theory in assessing which teeth needs what restoration and when.
