Simplifying Aesthetic Anterior Composite Resins

Beginning with a lecture covering the relevant physical properties required of composites to be used for restoring anterior teeth, this one-day course explores the concepts of colour as they relate to tooth shade selection. As there are presently so many options on the market, the importance of opacity/translucency as distinct from colour alone will be explained to assist participants in selecting composite systems for use in their practices.

Learning outcomes

Current composite resin technologies and systems designed for aesthetic, single and multi-layered build-up techniques Shade selection – understanding colour and teeth A simplified approach to multi-layered anterior composite restorations Finishing and polishing techniques for microfill, microhybrid, and nanocomposites Can composite resins restore adequate function and aesthetics? Indications for choosing between composite and ceramics Are composite restorations cost-effective for the patient and the dentist? Clinical examples to illustrate techniques for easier practice
