SubjectRestorative dentistry
DescriptionThis is a fantastic opportunity to revise theory on direct and indirect techniques for restoring teeth and gain hands on practice. Focus is on contemporary techniques including restoring function and getting the occlusion correct. This is a blended learning course which will have 6 hours of CPD via webinars and comprehensive course notes in advance of a 6 hour CPD practical day held at the Exeter Dental Education Facility. The course is for 2 small groups so there will be plenty of opportunity for practice and discussion. Direct restorative techniques with composites will be delivered as table top hands on practice. Indirect restorative techniques – from perfect preps to cementation will be practiced on phantom heads in the clinical skills lab. Course content will cover, material and preparation selection, difficult margins, impressions, provisional restorations, cementation, occlusion and contacts for all types of indirect restorations therefore includes many aspects of bridges. There will be a section on RBBs and conventional bridges in the course notes. Please see the programme for more details.
Additional information

The webinar and course notes will be made available to delegates 1 month before the hands on practical day.
