Direct resin restorations offer a conservative approach to preserving tooth structure while delivering functional and aesthetically pleasing results that can endure over time. However, heightened awareness of aesthetic dentistry in the media has led to greater expectations from consumers, who now demand excellence.

In this course, participants will gain insights into essential concepts such as shade selection and understanding micro and macro-anatomy. These concepts will be synthesized into a straightforward, step-by-step protocol covering treatment planning, fee setting, diagnostics, preparation, composite placement, and finishing. By mastering these techniques, attendees will be empowered to consistently achieve outstanding results in direct resin restorations.

What you will learn at this workshop:

Shade selection: demystify the science and use it as a practical everyday tool.
Translucency, opacity and opalescence: why all composite resin is not created equal.
A simple, rapid, yet novel concept to make incisal edge shade and effects obvious and effortless.
How to quickly and inexpensively fabricate diagnostic mock-ups and palatal silicone indices to achieve precise incisal edge position and restore worn palatal surfaces.
Simple, intuitive finishing protocols, to produce highly, polished restorations, which mimic natural enamel.
How to layer resin to create lifelike incisal halos and effects such as crack lines and opacities.
How to prep, place and finish class 2 restorations which have firm proximal contacts, require little occlusal adjustment and have no post-op sensitivity.

Topics and exercises:

Anatomic layering of multiple composite veneers.
Restoring the large class IV.
Restoring the correct chroma and value to discolored teeth with direct composite.
Managing the diastema with composite resin.
