Esthetic anterior composite restorations

Objective of the course:

1. To understand the correct indications and contra-indications for an anterior composite restoration.
2. To learn pre-restorative procedures and clinical application protocols.
3. Ability to select the correct resin-based composite and instruments for the appropriate restoration type.
4. To learn alternative composite shade selection techniques, clinically.
5. To learn anterior rubber-dam isolation materials and clinical application protocols.
6. To learn minimally invasive preparation protocols, clinically.
7. Ability to correctly use the selected adhesive system and to learn photopolymerization protocols.
8. To learn monochromatic and polychromatic layering techniques.
9. Ability to use the selected resin-based composite with the proper layering technique.
10. To learn additive and subtractive finishing techniques.
11. To perform an effective polishing protocol in a very short time, clinically.
12. To learn primary and secondary morphology and how to perform it clinically.
13. Ability to operate a diastema closure, crown fracture and full veneer restorations, clinically.
