Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry - Level 1 - 4th October 2026

One-day course in biomimetic restorative dentistry for dentists and dental therapists.

Thes one-day, in-person course is open to clinicians who are interested in learning foundational techniques in biomimetic restorative dentistry. Level 1 is suitable for dental therapists and dentists. We also offer a Level 2 course for dentists looking for training in advanced biomimetic techniques.

The Level 1 course gives dental clinicians a practical, clinically focused introduction to biomimetics. You'll learn about assessment, preparation design, bonding to dentine and stress-reduced direct composite techniques.

Tickets available for Level 1, priced at £595 for dentists and £495 for dental therapists. A 10% deposit is required to secure your place. Payment for the balance can be made via BACS (details to be provided).

What's Included

• Dedicated Level 1 course booklet
• Hands-on practical sessions using real teeth
• Live biomimetic restorations via big screen & microscope
• Lunche and refreshments
• Post-course WhatsApp support
• CPD certificates for Level 1

Level 1 Overview - Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry Foundations

Level 1 is suitable for dentists and for dental therapists. It focuses on restoring structurally compromised posterior teeth using adhesive, defect-driven principles.

We cover:

• Diagnosis of caries and fracture
• Occlusal considerations
• Rubber dam tips
• Cavity design based on remaining tooth structure
• Immediate dentine sealing
• Resin coating
• Deep margin elevation
• Fibre reinforcement
• Stress-reduced composite layering

The day concludes with a live Class II composite restoration shown on a big screen.

Level 1 Course Objectives

To equip delegates with advanced skills in performing long-lasting composite restorations, focusing on the principles of biomimetic dentistry to enhance clinical outcomes.

To provide hands-on training in caries and fracture removal, optimal dentine bonding, Ribbond application and photography, and the correct application of materials for optimal function and aesthetics.

To empower clinicians with the knowledge to assess structurally compromised teeth and know what can be restored directly, and what teeth would benefit from indirect restorations.

To provide valuable shadowing opportunities where delegates can observe real-time composite restoration procedures, learning from experienced practitioners.

Additional Details

Participants will have the opportunity to spend time with Amber Aplin, course lead, in an open Q&A session as well as to observe live clinical sessions. This will reinforce the course’s teachings and give delegates the confidence to implement these techniques with their own patients and practices.
