Description:

This hands-on workshop teaches the participant a predictable method for restoring a Class IV incisal fracture or adding length to an anterior tooth, utilizing composite bonding techniques. The procedure to be completed utilizes the latest in composite resins, of different translucencies. The use of a putty matrix as an invaluable tool will be reviewed. Proper color mapping and shade selections integrated into the restoration, along with techniques for proper finishing and polishing will be taught.

Learn how to:

• properly color map to blend the correct composite materials to achieve an invisible restoration

Description:

This hands-on workshop shows the participant how to utilize injection molding of flowable composite to efficiently restore a single tooth, multiple anterior teeth, or changing an entire occlusion. The procedure involves the use of a flowable composite, often designed specifically for injection molding. This course will show how to design the clear matrix needed, the best model design, and ways to have the preview model fabricated. Finishing and polishing of the restoration will be reviewed.

Learn:

• how to injection mold composite, how to utilize the flowable composite and how to clean the excess composite quickly to final form and function
• where injection molding would be beneficial in everyday practice, including temporary fixes
• how to work out the occlusal scheme and esthetics for the final restorations
