Objective of the course:
- To understand the correct indications and contra-indications for an anterior composite restoration
- To learn pre-restorative procedures and clinical application protocols
- Ability to select the correct resin-based composite and instruments for the appropriate restoration type
- To learn alternative composite shade selection techniques, clinically
- To learn anterior rubber-dam isolation materials and clinical application protocols
- To learn minimally invasive preparation protocols, clinically
- Ability to correctly use the selected adhesive system and to learn photopolymerization protocols
- To learn monochromatic and polychromatic layering techniques
- Ability to use the selected resin-based composite with the proper layering technique
- To learn additive and subtractive finishing techniques
- To perform an effective polishing protocol in a very short time, clinically
- To learn primary and secondary morphology and how to perform it clinically
- Ability to operate a diastema closure, crown fracture and full veneer restorations, clinically
1st Day Program
- Treatment planning and indications for anterior composite restorations
- Pre-restorative approaches (short-term clear aligner treatment, resin infiltration)
- Composite resin selection (monoshade, simplyshade, polyshade composites)
- Instrument selection (spatulas and curing units)
- Composite shade selection
- Isolation (anterior rubber-dam application)
- Preparation and beveling
- Dental adhesion
- Monochromatic composite layering
- Additive layering technique for diastema closure restorations
- Finishing and polishing protocols
Hands-on: Anterior rubber-dam isolation
Hands-on: Diastema closure with monochromatic free-hand layering technique
2nd Day Program
- Polychromatic composite layering (generating the mamelon effect and masking discoloration)
- Additive layering techniques for crown fracture restorations
- Subtractive layering techniques for direct veneer restorations
- Injection molding technique and injectable veneer technique (iVeneer)
- Finishing protocols (primary morphology)
- Surface texturing (secondary and tertiary morphologies)
- Polishing protocols
Hands-on: Crown fracture restoration (polychromatic layering technique)
Hands-on: Direct veneer restoration (composite injection / iVeneer technique)
