Description

This eighty-minute presentation will encompass many facets of esthetic and restorative dentistry including: biomaterials selection, operative techniques and principles, diagnostic and communication concepts, the adhesive design concept, functional composite prototyping, inverse injection layering technique, digital technology, periodontal plastic surgical procedures and prosthetic guidelines for treatment of interdisciplinary cases. This presentation will emphasize the significance of using an Adhesive Design Concept that relies on the interrelationship between three primary elements: restorative material selection, adhesion, and clinical technique to achieve clinical excellence. Throughout the presentation, I will be describing the techniques and materials for each of these topics that are illustrated in my textbooks, Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry: Material Selection and Technique, 3^rd edition, Restoring with Flowables and Restoring the Intraradicular Space: Esthetic Post Systems.

Education objectives:

1. Learn how to select and integrate restorative materials and adhesive protocols with sound fundamental design principles for direct and indirect composite and ceramic restorations.

2. Discover the significance of using the Adhesive Design Concept to achieve clinical excellence.

3. Understand the significance of utilizing an interdisciplinary team approach while developing an appreciation for the basic building blocks for achieving perioesthetic excellence.

It is strongly suggested that each participant has reviewed Esthetic & Restorative Dentistry: Material Selection & Technique, 3^rd edition, Restoring with Flowables and Restoring the Intraradicular Space: Esthetic Post Systems as a precursor to this presentation.
