Simplifying Complex Anterior Direct Composites with a Single Shade Composite System

Presenter: Dr. Kevin M. Brown   Release Date: 11/17/2021   Expiration Date: 11/17/2024  CE Credits: 1

In recent years, direct anterior composites to improve esthetics in a minimally invasive manner have become increasingly popular. Patients are also being exposed to dental treatments on social media and are seeing what a tooth looks like when it’s drilled down for an indirect porcelain restoration, and it frightens them and they are seeking out alternative less invasive methods to enhance their smiles. Layered “polychromatic” direct composite bonding has been around for a long time, but it is a challenging technique to learn and equally challenging to be fairly compensated for the added time and special materials used. A new single shade composite system has simplified the esthetic anterior composite bonding technique to make it easier for the dentist to achieve seamless results without the frustration of polychromatic layering. This CE webinar will use high quality photography to illustrate how this new single shade composite technique can be used effectively and efficiently to achieve outstanding results.

During this CE webinar, the participant will
• Understand the principles of esthetic anterior direct composite bonding
• Understand how a new single shade composite system can be applied with bonding in the esthetic zone
• Learn principles and techniques that will make esthetic composite bonding easier and more predictable

The Use of Universal Bonding Agents for Restorative Cases by Dr. James Chae, DDS, MS

Presenter: Dr. James Chae   Release Date: 11/12/2020   Expiration Date: 11/30/2022  CE Credits: 2

Universal bonding agents have served dentists as a popular and effective mode of bonding since 2011. A vast history of bonding agents precedes the universal variety. Current technology has enabled dentists to use universal bonding agents for an expansive array of restorative cases. Dentists can now use one bonding product with many or, at times, all methods of etching and curing to complete their most challenging restorations. This new technology has saved clinicians time and money in their practices because they can streamline their procedures with less inventory and fewer additional materials.

Advancements in Composite Resin Material Enable Streamline Direct Restoration Process

Presenter: Dr. Kevin M. Brown   Release Date: 11/1/2019   Expiration Date: 12/31/2022  CE Credits: 2

For most general dentists, direct resin composite restorations are mainstay procedures performed on a daily basis in their practice. As patients become more cognizant of the conservative nature of composites, they are increasingly demanding these types of minimally invasive restorations, especially in the anterior segment when chipped incisal edges, interproximal decay, or space discrepancies are involved. Over the past several decades dental manufacturers have developed a broad spectrum of composite materials to meet these demands, all of which feature varying characteristics. A new composite resin utilizes a single shade capable of matching any tooth, thus dramatically impacting the manner in which clinicians may approach direct composite restorations regarding time, costs, and ease of use.
