Most dentists spend a considerable part of their day placing composite restorations. During these appointments they manage preparation designs, matrix systems, dental adhesives, filling materials and finishing techniques. This course will utilize clinical videos, hands-on demonstration, and product sampling to improve the predictability and esthetics of this popular restoration for both anterior and posterior teeth. Particular emphasis will be placed on the newest materials and tips and tricks to improve efficiency.
