Hands On
- Posterior Composites: Modeling techniques for one-surface and two-surface restorations, including defect management.
- Anterior Composites: Polychromatic layering in Type IV defects (including incisal edge and corner build-ups), with texture simulation, finishing, and polishing
Topics Covered
- Biomimetics & Conservative Prep: Biomimetics concepts, conservative prep designs, managing polymerisation shrinkage stress, margin and prep design.
- Isolation & Bonding: Importance of rubber dam isolation, dentin bonding and post-op sensitivity, intraoperative corrections (re-bonding to old composites).
- Restorative Techniques & Materials: Armamentarium for direct composites, matrix systems and wedges for Class II restorations, predictable contacts and contours build-up, putty index fabrication.
- Layering & Aesthetic Considerations: Stratification techniques, layering methods (single/dual shades, anatomical layering, anterior class IV optimisation), hiding grey margins, mimicking opalescence, incisal halo, intensives, and characterisations.
- Shade Selection & Colour Matching: Optical aspects of natural teeth, understanding colour (Hue, Chroma, Value, Opalescence, intensives, characterisations), shade selection, personalised shade guide & Button try technique.
