Posterior Composites - Doable, Predictable and Repeatable

Course Information

There are many steps involved in the creation of a functional and aesthetic posterior composite restoration. This lecture and hands on course breaks down a number of the steps fundamental to obtaining excellent clinical outcomes with posterior composites. Topics Covered: • Biomimetics concepts. • Conservative prep designs. • Importance of rubber dam isolation. • Dentin bonding and post-op sensitivity. • Managing polymerisation shrinkage stress. • Armamentarium required for direct composites. • Steps to biomimetic build up…occlusal anatomy. • Different stratification techniques. • Occlusal stains…how to use. • Choosing the right matrix systems for Class II restorations. • Choosing the right wedge. • Predictable contacts and contours build up. • Predictable steps to finishing and polishing.. • Clinical solutions to common problems.
