Jason’s one-day program offers a simple, easy and predictable strategy to allow the busy dental practitioner to place beautiful, aesthetic lifelike class 1 and 2 direct composite restorations using only minimal shades of composite resin and instrumentation which is common to all dental offices. All of this within a realistic timeframe with technically uncomplicated protocols.
A popular, best selling course which is practical and intuitive with good literature support.
What You Will Learn:
- When direct posterior composite resins are predictable and when they are not
- Preparation design and a protocol to reduce the risk of voids, bond failure and sensitivity.
- How to implement modern high tech instrumentation such as particle abrasion and sonic activated preparation tips.
- Flowable composite as a liner: when, where and how? With supporting research.
- Photo-thermal polymerization: heating composite resin, the pros and cons.
- “C-Factor”: horizontal, vertical and oblique build-ups. Pulse activation protocols.
- How to assess the occlusal scheme preoperatively and accurately build up your restoration so that little if any occlusal adjustment is necessary.
- An overview of matrix systems: choosing the best for each situation.
- Discussion of a stratification technique using simplified instrumentation to achieve lifelike resin restorations, which require minimal finishing.
- Mono-, bi and polychromatic layering techniques. How to use tints to mimic nature and seamlessly blend the restoration with the surrounding tooth structure.
And much, much more…
Hands-On Component:
The hands-on component of the program introduces the participant to the technique with a simple class 1 restoration using a single shade of composite resin: the exercise focuses on mastering instrumentation and the establishment of anatomical form in the restoration.
The participant will then progress through two further exercises:
- A class 1 with palatal extension (polychromatic shade and internal tints. The intention is to help the delegate understand how to create invisible margins on smooth surfaces and build lifelike cusp and fissure forms, alongside the concept of polychromatic layering.
- The class 2 (Bichromatic layering and external tints). This exercise introduces matrix systems and a simplified finishing protocol.
The class is intended to be informal with questions taken “on the hoof” throughout the day. Dr Smithson demonstrates each case in its entirety via overhead projection: the participants then have the opportunity to ask questions before completing the exercise themselves with close support from Jason.
