Course Description:
The first part of this course will teach you how to select and handle different types of ceramic materials that are currently used in dentistry that will be much less confusing than typical marketing rhetoric. We will discuss the types of ceramic materials on the market and when/how to bond to these ceramics.
Session One Learning Objectives;
- What the different ceramic systems on the market are and how to best use them clinically.
- How to bond all ceramic restorations.
Session Two:
The second session will cover advances in restorative materials including universal adhesives, bulk fill composites, bioactive materials, SDF, and microabrasion.
Session Two Learning Objectives:
- What are the clinical techniques and best practices for adhesive bonding.
- How to perform posterior restorations with new materials, bulk fill composites, bioactive liners and SDF.
- How to diagnose and treat anterior discolorations with microabrasion and resin infiltration.
