Mastering Anterior and Posterior Composites - hands on course

A hands on clinical course, which explores the aesthetic clinical management of the anterior dentition with direct resin composites.

Learn how to assess patients to optimise treatment success and enhance the functional and aesthetic outcome using modern, restorative techniques. Benefit from hands on practical work, building up anterior teeth and optimising aesthetics by layering.

The course also includes demonstrations of how to use flowable bulk fill composites and a simplified method of cusp build ups, improving your technique and confidence in practice.

Objectives:

1. Discuss clinical assessment of the anterior teeth and planning management strategies.

2. Review the development of resin composites and modern bonding protocols and polishing systems.

3. To demonstrate how to produce successful composite build ups to optimise the shape and aesthetics of anterior teeth.

4. Discuss finishing and polishing techniques of composite restorations.

5. To demonstrate how to produce posterior composites using flowable Bulkfil composites and using simplified method of cusps build ups to produce the correct anatomy.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Be able to plan and undertake composite bonding to optimise the size and shape of anterior teeth and optimise aesthetic outcomes.

2. Be able to produce successful composite anterior composite build ups to optimise the shape and aesthetics of anterior teeth.

3. Be able to produce posterior composites, restorations using Bulkfil composites.
