Large Posterior Composites: Techniques for Daily Success

Instructor: Dr. Marcos Vargas

Not every patient can afford to have their teeth crowned or would prefer to wait for that option. As dental professionals, we aim to provide alternative treatments that allow us to buy time and stabilize teeth in the medium term. Large composite restorations serve as a valuable alternative for such cases. In this lecture and hands-on demonstration, we will share practical tips and tricks for restoring large teeth defects using composite resin. The hands-on portion will demonstrate building a tooth with a missing cusp. Whether you’re looking to enhance efficiency or achieve optimal esthetics, mastering the right techniques can lead to successful outcomes for your patients.

Effortless Veneer Prototype/Provisionals: Road Test Your Smile Design

Instructor: Dr. Susan McMahon

The demand for cosmetic dentistry, especially veneers, continues to grow exponentially. Our patients have high expectations for results and fabricating a provisional prototype allows us and the patient to preview their restorations. Revisions can be made to the prototype as necessary for patient and doctor satisfaction. This course will cover the process of smile design, prepping and then demonstrate fabrication of provisional veneers. These provisional veneers will not only protect the teeth during the interim period while finals are being made but they will then provide the dentist and ceramist with a guide for size and shape for the finals.

Quick, Predictable & Beautiful Solutions to Restoring Anterior Composites & Black Triangles

Instructor: Dr. Susan McMahon

Anterior composites often are visible due to lack of line angles, facial anatomy and surface texture. Many of us were taught to finish with discs and cups, which obliterate most anatomy and make our restorations apparent and unsightly. This course will give you the secrets to ast and predictable placement, anatomy, surface texture and finishing. Your composites will look like you spent hours of chair time but it will only take minutes.
