Aims
  • To update the audience on the advances in composite materials, bulkfill composites and the alternatives to amalgam as direct restorative materials.
  • To discuss the current developments of LED light curing units and factors affecting optimum curing of composite resins.
  • To provide instruction on how to produce successful posterior restorations with modern bulk fill composites.
  • To demonstrate the use of sectional matrix systems for the perfect contact points.
Objectives
  • Understand the theory behind the introduction of bulk fill composites.
  • Be able to use modern materials to produce restorations with high quality seal and minimal shrinkage stress.
  • Understand the light curing process and the factors that could influnce the polymerisation effeciency of resin composites.
  • Have had a chance to use sectional matrices to help provide the perfect contact point.
