• GAME OF CLONES:  TIPS | DESIGN | DELIVERY 

Composite resin used artistically with dialled-in occlusion allows placement in areas of application never dreamt possible.  Learn how to push the limits using these modern supercomposites in a step-by-step, design-guided manner.  Understand the proper way to prepare enamel and dentin surfaces for maximal bond strength using modern agents.  Are they all created equal?  Zirconia - is it a panacea, and how the heck do we bond this?

• WORKSHOP:  SKULPTING SKOOL 102

          Creating Ultimate Esthetics in Class IV and Composite Veneer Situations using Empress Direct

The modern management and conservative treatment of dental traumatic injuries is a skill underpinned by the clinician's knowledge and skill at placing well-sealed, biomimetic, invisible resin restorations.  The concept of responsible esthetics is echoed in this course through a review of preparation design through to occlusal control for long-lasting performance.  The course will progress from restoration of a Class IV using a stratified approach with Empress Direct through to the placement of composite veneers with maverick effects.  There will be an opportunity for delegates to learn how to mask a dark tooth during the course of placing a composite veneer.

Learning Outcomes:

1. How to assess how and where to prepare to maximize adhesive longevity and esthetic outcome in both Class IV and composite veneer cases
2. The concept behind creating custom shade tabs and the shade button technique
3. Various methods to block out and neutralize a dark tooth in composite veneer situations
4. Putty-matrix guided and Mylar-freehand techniques in building esthetic restorations
5. Work with the various shade recipes to predictably reflect persons of varying ages.
6. How and where to incorporate tinting to create maverick effects in the final direct restoration.
7. Review contouring protocols to achieve primary, secondary and tertiary anatomy before finishing and polishing to perfection.

 

• MINIMALLY INVASIVE, MAXIMALLY AESTHETIC V2.0

Our quest to mimic nature has driven technology to develop tools that not only hone our eye in both direct and indirect smile design, it has given us the ability to plan with the end in mind.  This concept of Responsible Esthetics allows three-dimensionally-guided, biomimetic dentistry to be performed by the modern cosmetic dentist.  Cutting edge techniques ranging from resin infiltration, complex layering to prep substrate decontamination for maximal resin shear bond strengths in indirect cementation will be discussed.
