Trouble-free Highly Esthetic Composite Restorations
Dr. Fares presents his methods of building up one quadrant in one session with direct composite restorations.

Matricing Solutions: Mastering Adhesive Dentistry - Part 1 of 2
This lecture will provide all what you need and what is necessary to master matrix selection in the daily practice. This lecture is consisting of two informative parts. In this first part, we will focus on the importance of achieving protective matricing and pre-wedging in different restorative procedures. We will also tackle how to master anterior matricing in different clinical situations to reproduce the natural anatomy of the affected teeth.

Dr. Ted Croll on Preventive Therapy
Dr. Croll discusses many techniques involving sealants, microabrasion and bleaching.

Evidence-Based Recommendations For The Use of Dental Adhesives
Dentists often rely on extrapolation from laboratory to clinical findings to predict the clinical behavior of dental adhesives. This lecture will give an overview of current adhesion strategies, respective advantages and disadvantages, and recommendations to optimize the application of recent universal adhesives. An evidence-based approach will highlight the myths and facts related to the interpretation of data from systematic reviews of clinical studies and a few laboratory studies.

Anterior Composite Restorations - The Reality of Making it Real
Learn finishing and polishing techniques to create realism in your direct composites and these undetectable additions to enhance one’s patients smile.

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.

The Centripetal Build-Up for Composite Resin Posterior Restorations
This paper introduces a new technique for creating Class II posterior composite restorations - the centripetal build-up. This technique replaces the lost tooth structure from the periphery towards the center of the cavity, thereby achieving better marginal adaptation to the gingival floor. Since overfilling is rare, rotary finishing is minimized. This method allows the creation of long-term aesthetic posterior composite restorations, while utilizing conventional auxiliary (ie, metal matrix bands…

Ethics and Economics of Composite Resin Restoration
When I began my dental career, the full crown was really the main option being taught for esthetic dentistry. With the development of composite resins, we could refrain from reducing valuable enamel.

Communicating Digitally with the Laboratory: Design, Impressions, Shade, and the Digital Laboratory Slip
This article will review and explore some of the digital opportunities and rationales for digital communication of all forms of clinical information from the dentist to the laboratory.
