Objectives:
• To teach a simple, reproducible technique to create accurate and aesthetic tooth morphology in composite resin for posterior teeth.
• Discuss some of the new innovations in materials science that are advancing the technology of composite resins.
• Answers to questions regarding Self Etch adhesives; how to make them better and where not to use them
• Eliminating the show-through effect associated with direct esthetic restorations
• Putting it all together; the utilization of a systematic approach utilizing Nanofilled composites, Opaquers, Tints and Microfills to create natural, beautiful and predictable posterior direct resin restorations
• To discuss how a sectional matrix can accurately reproduce contact and contour for proximal surfaces.
• To learn how to manage soft tissue problems when placing Class II composite resins.
• Finishing and polishing techniques that create natural surface texture and reflection.
• Traditional and recent concepts for placement of direct esthetic restorations
• Efficiently achieving esthetics and function with minimally invasive dentistry
• Discussing posterior direct esthetic restorations
• Establishing proper inter-proximal contacts with composite resin
