3 C's of Composite: Contour, Color and Creativity Premium Member Content

3 C's of Composite: Contour, Color and Creativity
Mastering composite artistry is the most challenging tooth replacement procedure clinicians are asked to preform. It requires the clinician to understand the optical, physical, handling and mechanical properties of a resin filled with quartz, silica and glass. Combining these attributes to reproduce the natural dentition three dimensionally in contour and color is our goal. Adding a bit of imagination, the clinician can create restorations that are brilliant and ultimately seamless and undetectable.

Resin Composite Madness: Solutions for Daily Practice Premium Member Content

Resin Composite Madness: Solutions for Daily Practice
Dental esthetics and minimal invasiveness have become increasingly important during the last decade when considering diagnosis and treatment planning. Nowadays, Composite resins occupy a paramount position among restorative materials because they offer excellent aesthetic potential and acceptable longevity with a much lower cost than equivalent ceramic restorations for the treatment of both anterior and posterior teeth. In addition, composite restorations allow for minimally invasive preparations or no preparation at all when assuming the replacement of decayed or missing tissue becoming a popular alternative to the more traumatizing prosthetic restorations.

Total Esthetic Reconstruction; A Phased Step by Step Approach Premium Member Content

Total Esthetic Reconstruction; A Phased Step by Step Approach
Most studies report a wait of between six weeks and three months before taking the impression and placement of any type of restoration. But if we manage adequate surgical protocol and include certain processes (subject of the study), we can have more predictable results in relation to the marginal stability in the medium and long term. We are showing Claudia's case she is 20 years old with a clear gummy smile and small teeth in proportion to her face to whom we practice periodontal plastic surgery on ten of her upper pieces from premolar to premolar and cemented her veneers three weeks after the surgical procedure. We also present part of the elaboration process of the indirect resin veneers by our laboratory.

Correction of Tooth Defects and Discolored Teeth Using Direct Composite Resin Premium Member Content

Correction of Tooth Defects and Discolored Teeth Using Direct Composite Resin
For over 50 years dentists have been making instant esthetic transformations using direct composite resin. That technology has been enhanced by the latest nano composite materials. Although the past decade has seen greater use of ceramic materials in esthetic dentistry, direct bonding with these new composites is still a highly valuable procedure. This video will deal with correction of severe tooth discoloration using nano composites. Immediate composite resin bonding can act as either the ideal correction or as an extended trial smile so patients can live with their new smile as long as necessary.
