Fundamental to obtaining excellent clinical outcomes with posterior composites, is an understanding of the latest composite materials (including Bulkfill technologies) and the ability to properly adhere these materials into the tooth.
This workshop will thoroughly review the dentine bonding agents presently on the market (including the Universal Adhesives), with all of their respective advantages and possible pitfalls. The course will then address the main causes of post- operative sensitivity with posterior composites, and present techniques that can be predictably employed by the clinician to prevent it from occurring. This will include a discussion on cavity design and restorative material placement as well as the role of Bulkfills, Glass Ionomers and Flowable resins. During the hands-on exercises, participants will then have the opportunity to practice composite placement in typodont teeth using the materials and techniques discussed.
