The Art & Science of Posterior Composites (CPD22NOV19)
Availability | Course has taken place |
Subject | eCPD |
Description | Direct posterior composites have become common place in General Dental Practice. However clinical experience and studies have shown that compared to Dental Amalgam they can create problems such as sensitivity, secondary caries, & food packing due to poor contact areas. Ian believes in the philosophy of Better, Safer and Faster when it comes to composite placement. In his presentation and hands-on session, Ian will present practical solutions to everyday problems and show how applying the theory can lead to clinical success. |
