Anterior & Posterior Composites Masterclass

Anterior & Posterior Composites Masterclass

• Biomimetics & Conservative Prep: Biomimetics concepts, conservative prep designs, managing polymerisation shrinkage stress, margin and prep design.
• Isolation & Bonding: Importance of rubber dam isolation, dentin bonding and post-op sensitivity, intraoperative corrections (re-bonding to old composites).
• Restorative Techniques & Materials: Armamentarium for direct composites, matrix systems and wedges for Class II restorations, predictable contacts and contours build-up, putty index fabrication.
• Layering & Aesthetic Considerations: Stratification techniques, layering methods (single/dual shades, anatomical layering, anterior class IV optimisation), hiding grey margins, mimicking opalescence, incisal halo, intensives, and characterisations.
• Shade Selection & Colour Matching: Optical aspects of natural teeth, understanding colour (Hue, Chroma, Value, Opalescence, intensives, characterisations), shade selection, personalised shade guide & Button try technique.
