This course is supported by Ivoclar.

The course will also cover light curing so if you would like to bring your own light along it can be checked for efficiency.

Chris McConnell will guide you through the science and techniques required to expertly place advanced posterior composites easily and affordably.

· We will be breaking down the confusion of composite placement, focusing on how to achieve reliable results using the highly regarded Tetric Evoceram composite.

· The course will introduce Tetric Evoceram Bulkfill and demonstrate how to easily integrate this into your workplace and how it can be used as a viable alternative to amalgam.

· The latest and innovative new techniques including the Halo, Cut Back, Posterior Anatomical Technique (PAT) and Indirect Chairside Technique will be covered.

· Discover how you can use the materials as a successful alternative to lab made / CAD/CAM restorations to keep patient and clinic costs down.

· We will show you how you can apply all these skills in your surgery immediately, utilizing minimal materials whilst maximising your financial return.

· All materials, models and equipment are provided.

Please note there is a charge for parking at Sandy Park Conference Centre.

Mandatory: Dentist, or Therapist

Aim:

The course aims to provide participants with the knowledge and understanding to confidently use the latest bulk fill composite materials for optimal stress free results. By using innovative advanced techniques that can be utilised by every Clinician, this course will demonstrate how easy it is to switch to an amalgam free environment with minimal outlay and comply with the EU amalgam phasedown.

by the end of the course, participants should;

1. Recognise the classification, composition and performance factors of composites.

2. Understand how the properties of dental materials can be used to optimise composite restorations.

3. Gain knowledge on light curing and how it can help or hinder you.

4. Understand the types of bonding systems used in conjunction with composite technology.

5. Learn how to get easy and reliable results using the Halo, Cut Back, Posterior Anatomical Technique and the Indirect Chairside Technique.

6. Gain practical experience in the techniques of freehand composite placements to achieve aesthetic restorations in the molar and pre-molar region.

7. Find out how a limited selection of materials can be used for most cases.

8. Recognise how you can make your restorations affordable both in time and financially for the patient and clinician.

9. Recognise the pitfalls of composite placement and be able to trouble shoot.
