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:
