Hands-OnLine LIVE is a new, innovative method of teaching hands-on dental courses via an interactive webinar format, LIVE. After registering for a Hands-OnLine LIVE course, each participant will be sent a technique kit that includes a model, instruments, restorative materials and accessories to perform the hands-on exercise. From the comfort of your own operatory, each participant will connect to our interactive Hands-OnLine LIVE site to participate and perform the exercise. The instructor will review cases and demonstrate each step of the technique live, then allow participants to perform each step utilizing the kit provided. During the course, participants can type questions directly to the Instructor.

Mastering the Class IV Restoration

Instructor: Dr. Robert Margeas

Matching the color, opacity, translucency of adjacent teeth when presented with a Class IV fracture is common and a challenge for most dentists. Every tooth is unique, with varying degrees of characterization in the form of opacity, translucency, incisal edge color as well as enamel effects such as white spots or craze lines. When composite is the restorative material of choice, most Class IV cases require a layering placement technique. To mimic true enamel properties as well as dentin opacity, each material used must exhibit specific properties and be placed with meticulous care to insure a natural esthetic result can 

be achieved. The use of a lingual matrix to replace the lingual shelf followed by precise placement of dentin, incisal and enamel shades can yield consistent and accurate results. In this course, Dr Margeas will review many Class IV cases then perform each step of his technique, live via an interactive webinar format. Participants will then perform Dr Margeas’ Class IV case simultaneously in the comfort of their own office, LIVE.
