Injection Overmolding

Dr. Jihyon Kim

Course Description

Common dilemmas with posterior composite restorations are chipping, marginal leakage and staining, overhangs, poor contacts, and post-operative sensitivity. The Injection Overmolding method for composite handling and placement creates monolithic restorations with strength, integrity, and peripheral seal to mitigate these common clinical concerns.

This posterior course offers a common-sense, revolutionary clinical protocol to reduce the stress of posterior quadrant treatment through an understanding of clinical parameters for modern composite cavity preparations and evidence-based dentin bonding. Attendees will learn to enjoy delivering posterior composite dentistry with superior results patients will immediately recognize and appreciate.

Learning Objectives:

Become competent in the Injection Overmolding method to apply first day in practice
Understand how Injection Overmolding and a “peripheral seal” can overcome the common pitfalls with posterior composites: chipping, leaking, and sensitivity
Learn and apply rubber dam tips for predictable isolation of posterior cases
Learn modern posterior composite cavity preparations
Develop calculated skills for strategic posterior quadrant therapy
Understand matrix options and demonstrate deliberate matrix handling for predictable Class II proximal contacts
Discern the critical steps in adhesive dentistry and learn discover the potential benefits of nanotechnology in dentin bonding
Understand and master simplified high-shine polishing protocol

Pricing:

$1,500.00 USD

Restore: Posterior Domination is a course where injection overmolding merges with biomimetic principles…. this is the new world of composite restorations! The IO team of Drs. Kim, Walker and Yi go one step above by providing not only lecture and hands-on, but also a live patient experience. In many courses you return to your office after learning a new procedure and are at a loss of how to begin on a patient . That is not the case after taking this course. You get to view the procedure from start to finish!

The IO Team led a phenomenal Posterior Domination course! We started with a mini-lecture while enjoying complimentary breakfast and coffee. The team got us accustomed to modern composite dentistry before transitioning into a live patient demo using a microscope projected onto a large TV so that all participants could view. Dr. Kim narrated her entire process and welcomed any and all questions. We then had a fantastic lunch as we watched Dr. Walker and Dr. Yi present some of their respective cases. I particularly enjoyed how they incorporated some of their less-favorable outcomes, as they commented on what they learned and what they would’ve done differently. The afternoon was fully hands-on as we went back and forth between Typodont demos and practice exercises of prep design, matrix layout, injection overmolding, and finishing/polishing. The pace of the course was perfect, and I certainly learned a lot. I enjoyed the emphasis of evidence-based and biomimetic dentistry; it is clear that the IO Team is caught up with current literature. I highly recommend this course to anybody interested in improving their preps and fills. Trust me, your patients will thank you! I’m looking forward to their next course offering – Flourish: Anterior Esthetics!! Huge thanks to the IO Team!

I cannot recommend the injection overmolding team’s posterior course enough. In this course you get it all: clear and compelling rationales behind practices, a live demo, and lots of hands on practice with world class operators providing friendly feedback. Whereas dental school teaches how to place composite as though it were amalgam, this course teaches how to design preps and manipulate composite in a way that optimizes the physical characteristics of the material. Dr. Kim, Dr. Walker, and Dr. Yi keep up to date with current literature in restorative dentistry and dental materials so that you leave the class able to create fillings that are gorgeous on that outside and fundamentally sound on the inside. I loved the pace of the course: every 30 minutes to one hour we changed gears from mini lectures to live demos to hands-on practice using Komet burs and Bien Air electric hand pieces. I had a lot of fun and learned so much. I highly recommend their course, their simplified restorative bur block, and their economical composite warmer. Also, lunch was great!!! Thank you, IO Team!!

100% I would go to this course. Dr. Kim’s online webinars, youtube videos, and instagram have awesome content. But if you are serious about injection overmolding you have to come to the live class. When you are life you understand so much better how to do the preps and fills. She does a live patient demonstration, under a microscope and projected onto a big screen. Morning there is a nice lecture that is very concise and informative, and then all afternoon there is typhodont hands on with one on one instruction. Class size is 5-10 no more. Dr. Kim and the whole IO team is so nice, and very welcoming no pretensions at all. They are bringing now more biomemetic evidenced based science. It isn’t just bulk filling the whole prep with warmed composite, it’s still involved incremental fill. It’s a whole thing you will just have to go to the course to see it all! I say yes to any of Dr. Kim IO classes, they are good peeps!

Great class! There are not many one day, hands on classes around where you can learn techniques and implement them immediately. JiHyon is efficient, practical and concise. The class size (5-7 participants) is perfect for one on one learning and they have all of the supplies and products they talk about there for you to try. Each person has their own station so you can work at your own pace and have plenty of time to do the exercises. The class moves quickly so you are not bored but not so fast that you can’t take it in. As an added bonus, if you have wanted to try out the dental operating microscope, they have one from Global that is available to use. And, if you are really lucky, you will meet Ku, the resident Aussie. I am already signed up for Flourish: Anterior Esthetics on April and I can hardly wait!
