Introduction

This Anterior Composite Course will enable the delegates to restore small and large defects in anterior teeth in a predictable and consistent manner so that the restoration mimics the natural tooth. A theory with regards to composite resins will be covered but there will be a heavy emphasis on the practical side so that the practitioner will be able to restore various defects confidently.

Aims & Objectives

To enable the delegates to restore anterior teeth with composite resin restorations in a predictable manner.

Objectives

Understand anterior tooth anatomy
Shade matching
Restore class IV cavities with predictability.
Fabricate direct composite veneers
Restore diastemas
Manage discoloured teeth
Creating anatomically contact points with matrices
Appraise different bonding agents

Course Content:

Classification of Bonding agents
Shade taking – using different methods of taking shade predictably
Relating shades of teeth to composites
Moisture Control
Anatomy of teeth – identifying various features on incisors, laterals and canines and reproducing them with composites
Incremental build-up techniques: labiopalatal and palatolabial techniques
Use of tints for recreating incisal halo, fluorosis effects and crack lines etc
Different matrices for creating proximal walls
Polishing of composites predictably and consistently to high luster
Clinical case studies will be shown covering class IV restorations, diastema closures, composite veneers, tooth wear and restoring discoloured teeth
Practicals covering diastema closures, Class IV cavities, smile makeovers, veneers, incised edge bonding and restoring the worn anterior teeth using direct freehand techniques using different silicone matrices will be covered
