Class II Direct Resins: Faster, Easier and Better
For: Dentists only
Amalgams have served dentistry for almost a century. However, amalgam fillings undergo constant corrosion and are not esthetic. Posterior direct resin restorations seal teeth, reinforce remaining tooth structure and allow more conservative preparations. In this presentation, Dr. Jackson will show a simplified, predictable placement technique for the Class II direct resin restoration. Areas covered in this presentation include:

Giving Your Patients Something to Smile About: The Art of Direct Resin
For: Dentists only

The real power of cosmetic dentistry is providing patients with beautiful smiles that enhance self-esteem, and encourages them to refer their friends. Operative procedures run the gamut from the simple invisible Class III restoration to the complex complete smile makeover. However, dentists are challenged to keep current with a multitude of improved materials (resins, ceramics, adhesives, etc,) in order to solve unique clinical problems. This presentation will illustrate the value of using direct composite resin for treating anterior restorative and cosmetic needs. The simple, conservative techniques shown will lead to results that please the patient and the dentist. Topics to be covered include:

Rationale of additive dentistry versus subtractive
Materials and systems
Colour, opacity, translucency and texture
Correcting minor defects can make a big difference
The invisible Class IV, simple diastema closure and full veneers
