November 5th. 2pm - 5pm At the AMED Meeting in Santa Barbara, California
Better, Faster, Prettier Composites; Hands on Course with Dr David Clark and Bioclear Matrix Systems
Direct Composites - Simplified, Beautified, Clarified. Participants will have the opportunity to perform modern composite dentistry utilizing the Bioclear Matrix Systems, Operating Microscopes, and flowable and paste composites.
Participants will perform the following on simulation models: Prepare and restore Clark Class II preparations, peg lateral treatment, Restoratively driven papilla regeneration ("black triangle" elimination), and advanced composite preparations and matrixing for deep caries and diastema closure.
Cracked Tooth diagnosis will be addressed and various techniques to prevent and treat cracked teeth with both the Cala Lilly and composite onlay will be performed. You will re-think the role of resins in their practice after seeing the possibilities in this renaissance of direct composites!
At the end of this course participants will:
• Achieve clinical proficiency in both diastema closure techniques and restoratively-driven papilla regeneration utilizing direct composites.
• Understand and achieve confidence with minimally traumatic class I and class II composite preparations, including the Clark Class II.
• Understand C-Factor, composite chemistry, and receive an update in dentin and composite bonding options.
• Understand the strengths and weaknesses of flowable and past composites.
• Receive a blueprint for the incorporation of flowable composites in all different types of composite preparations.
• Have confidence in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cracked teeth
• Gain confidence in the use of the dental microscope for direct composites
