Lecturer: Nadeem Younis | BDS MSc DGDP(UK) DPDS
Course Fee: £895
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
