Advanced Restorative Dentistry: Aesthetics and function with minimal tooth intervention and integration of composite technology and clinical problem solving

An attractive smile has always been a focal point of patient’s attention for improving their appearance and self-esteem.

The evolution of composite materials today has increased the dentist’s ability to control aesthetics in his or her practice. This is achieved with enhanced bonding to the tooth structure, predictable success and no laboratory cost.

The initial part of this course aims to show the participants how to practice cosmetic dentistry in its simplest form including how to start a cosmetic case; what are the limitations and how do we overcome this.

Using these techniques, most cases can be accomplished with minimum tooth intervention, no local anaesthesia and at a reduced cost to the patient in one visit. The technique can be applied to all ages and the results can be quite astounding. Patients appreciate the one visit procedure and the immediate aesthetic and functional improvement.

This comprehensive hands-on course will also cover all aspects of the application of composite technology to clinical practice.

The day aims to achieve improved knowledge and clinical skills in the application of composites and enhance the confidence of the practitioner in the treatment of simple to complex cases using direct composites to achieve optimal function and aesthetic result.
