COURSE DESCRIPTION
This intensive two-day, hands-on course focuses on the latest direct anterior composite restorations protocols. This program will give you the knowledge and experience to perfect composite restorations. Attendees will gain skills in layered composite and pull-through techniques for composite veneers and Class IV, stress-free isolation techniques, diagnostic mock up, and effective finishing and polishing techniques. You will be able to understand how to incorporate long lasting and tooth-like direct composite to your daily practice as a reliable alternative to ceramic while practicing minimally invasive dentistry. Drs. Oliveira-Haas, Far, Neto, Azhari, Soares, and Roman will provide over-the-shoulder mentoring. This team of very skilled faculty members will provide guidance for an intensive patient simulation experience. Outstanding handouts and videos with step-by-step for simulated practices will be provided, as well as classic literature articles. Attendees will refine their composite resin skills and will learn the lasted techniques to immediately apply them to your patients and enhance your clinical performance.
