TOPIC:
Game of Clones: Tips, Design, Delivery

LECTURE SYNOPSIS:
Composite resin used artistically with dialled-in occlusion allows placement in areas of application never dreamt possible. Learn how to push the limits using these modern supercomposites in a step-by-step, design-guided manner. Understand the proper way to prepare enamel and dentin surfaces for maximal bond strength using modern agents. Are they all created equal? Zirconia - is it a panacea, and how the heck do we bond this?

Learning Outcomes:

1. The attendee will learn tips and tricks to generate success with large-dose anterior composite aesthetic reconstructions.
2. The attendee will learn an updated C-Factor strategy to decrease stress in large posterior composite restorations.
3. The attendee will learn how to prepare enamel and dentin as individual substrates for maximal bond strength from both a micro mechanical and chemical aspect.
4. The attendee will explore the various types of zirconia and review the ideal cementation protocol for maximal bond strength.
5. The attendee will be guided through the “what with”, “where” and “how” for posterior and anterior maverick tint placement in naturomimetic composite restorations.
