Aims | Overall aim: To improve the predictability of direct restorations. Specific aims: 1. To provide practitioners with an opportunity to practice clinical skills. 2. To increase practitioners’ direct restorative dentistry skills. 3. To increase practitioners’ confidence. |
Objectives | 1. To explain how scientific developments in cariology, dental materials and diagnostic systems have changed dentistry’s approach to the diagnosis and management of dental caries. 2. To outline the changing concepts in cavity preparation, banding, bonding, filling and polishing techniques. 3. To provide demonstrations and tips in direct restorative dentistry techniques. |
Learning outcomes | Following this course learners should be able to: 1. Use an evidence-based conservative approach to assist in clinical decision making for direct restorative dentistry. 2. Use minimal cavity preparation design, techniques and materials that are practical in general practice, so as to improve predictability of clinical treatment and outcomes when restoring teeth with direct restorations. 3. Apply the appropriate evidence so as to manage all forms of diseased and broken-down teeth using a range of materials and techniques. |
