Anterior Direct Composite Bonding: Fundamental principles for polychromatic layering to seamlessly blend with nature.

Composite resin chemistry is becoming more and more versatile and predictable. Proper use of these new composites can be so esthetic that they literally disappear within the surrounding dentition. The question is, “how do I do it?” “How many layers do I need?” “Are they worth it?” Using high definition clinical photography and videos, Dr. Brown and Dr. Gillespie will review several products and techniques from the latest composite systems and guide you in a personal hands-on setting to teach you how to replicate each layer of natural tooth structure. Attendees will leave feeling more educated about the latest products to hit the market, simplified techniques, and increased confidence in their ability to predictably create beautiful anterior restorations.

Learning Objectives:

• Review fundamentals of anterior tooth morphology and how this applies to anterior direct composite layering.
• Discuss the impact of proper bonding agents and protocols for maximum restoration strength and predictability.
• Practice restoring a class IV fractured incisor and a peg lateral incisor using a silicone putty index guide with a new generation esthetic composite system.
• Review and practice different polishing and texturizing techniques to create seamless restorations.

Advanced Anterior Direct Composite Bonding

Take what you’ve learned from the intro course to the next level of excellence and productivity by learning how to restore many teeth simultaneously in the smile zone. With more adults electing to do clear aligner orthodontics, many finish treatment still unhappy with their smile because of worn incisal edges, residual spacing or diastemas, asymmetrical teeth, discolorations etc. This course will help you restore confidence in your patients’ smiles in the most conservative manner possible with little to no drilling, and make it a rewarding and profitable treatment option.

(All Day: Mostly hands-on with some lecture)

Learning Objectives:

• How to restore 4, 6, or 8+ anterior teeth with direct composite polychromatic layering in a predictable and time efficient manner.
• The importance of a diagnostic wax-up or composite mock-up.
• How to recognize and deal with asymmetries between the pink and the white.
• How to manage Inter-proximal contacts when restoring multiple teeth simultaneously
• How to quickly and predictably restore a small or large diastema.
• How to create internal effects and characterizations
• Advanced finishing and polishing techniques to achieve the most natural results, from young textured teeth to smooth and glossy worn teeth.

Indirect Porcelain Veneers: Improving the Process from preparation to cementation

We all want to increase the number of esthetic cases we do in our practices, but the question is, are we ready? Do I know how to market myself to make sure patients can find me? Am I confident in my preparation style? How do I make predictable temporaries that are beautiful and long lasting? How can I ensure that my cementation procedure will give me the strongest bonds possible? Drs. Brown and Gillespie will answer all of these questions and more in this hands-on course to help you increase your cosmetic cases in your practice and feel confident that your patients will receive the smile of their dreams.

(All Day: lecture and hands-on)
