Emulating Natures Morphology: Approaching the Anterior Direct Resin Case

Direct resin can produce functional, highly aesthetic long-lasting restorations, which are conservative of tooth structure. However, with the rise of aesthetic dentistry in the media, the public as consumers are becoming increasingly discerning: they expect and demand the best. Learn key concepts such as shade selection and micro and macro-anatomy and pull them together into a simple step-by-step protocol which includes treatment planning, diagnostics, preparation, composite placement, and finishing, allowing you to achieve outstanding results on a consistent basis.

Learning outcomes

Shade selection: demystify the science and use it as a practical everyday tool. Translucency, opacity, and opalescence: why all composite resin is not created equal. Two different concepts to make incisal edge shade and effects obvious and effortless. How to quickly and inexpensively fabricate diagnostic mock-ups and palatal silicone indices to achieve precise incisal edge position and restore worn palatal surfaces. Simple, intuitive finishing protocols, to produce highly, polished restorations, which mimic natural enamel. How to layer resin to create lifelike incisal halos and effects such as
