Everyday Composites versus Masterful Outcomes

Presenter: Dr. Brian LeSage   Release Date: 4/25/2018   Expiration Date: 4/25/2024  CE Credits: 1

Every day we are challenged with patients that have worn, broken or diseased anterior teeth. How will we restore them? Will they want a usual or customary result or will they be seeking something more superior? Are you giving your patients the option and do you know how to achieve the latter? Learn from the originator of the Simple, Less Simple and 3D characterized Layering system for anterior composites. An overview of the starburst bevel, matrix, various layering techniques and finishing & polishing will be discussed. With these four parameters you can achieve restorations that rival porcelain. Join us for this one hour CE webinar to see and understand composite artistry. During this CE webinar, the participant will • Review simple techniques and tips to improve composite usage in an everyday dental practice • See how to create seamless, undetectable restorations using a premium polychromatic composite • Discover the relationship between the patient saying “Yes” to complex layering of composites and profession satisfaction

Simplifying the Placement of Posterior Composite Restorations

Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe   Release Date: 1/18/2018   Expiration Date: 1/18/2021  CE Credits: 1

In this information filled CE webinar, Dr. Lowe will discuss and demonstrate techniques to simplify the placement of direct posterior composite restorations. Traditional layering techniques can be tedious and time consuming. The use of bulk fill materials can simplify the process and save valuable chair time, while recent developments in bulk fill technologies produce excellent results for both the patient and the doctor. Other clinical challenges of placing Class II direct composites (proximal contact and contour) and soft tissue management will also be discussed.

Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able
• to demonstrate the use of bulk fill composite materials to decrease layering and increase placement efficiency.
• to discuss how bulk fill materials have developed and improved over time.
• to discuss how sectional matrix can accurately reproduce contact and contour for proximal surfaces.
• to learn how to manage soft tissue issues when placing Class II composite resins.
• to use finishing and polishing techniques that create natural surface texture and reflection
