SubjectAesthetic dentistry
DescriptionThere is an increase in the demands from our patients for aesthetic restorations and alternatives. Often this demand can challenge a clinician's intention for preserving natural and healthy tissue. Direct composites are continuing to improve intheir properties and characteristics. With this material it is becoming possible to satisfy the criteria for the provision of minimally invasive, aesthetic and predictable restorations in a variety of clinical situations. The presentation will have a clinical bias and will focus on the applications of this material and highlight clinical tips on how to achieve outcomes, which are acceptable for both the patient and the clinician.
