Predictable posterior restorations: Hands on (CPD14FEB20)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjecteCPD
DescriptionThis is a hands on day suitable for GDPs and Therapists to help them provide predictable direct posterior composite restorations. It will provide a comprehensive review of the development of composite materials, how to select your material and the evidence to date. It will also address the reasons of early failures of resin composite including how to effectively choose and use your light curing unit. We will demonstrate how to predictably restore posterior teeth with Bulkfil composites including use of sectional matrix system and improve your technique and confidence in practice.

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.
