Synopsis:
The participants will learn a step-by-step application of direct resin for fractures of anterior teeth. The appropriate preparation techniques for fractured incisors to help camouflage the restoration and maximize retention will be reviewed and practiced. Concepts to create and utilize a customized lingual incisal matrix will be used in the hands-on exercise. Utilizing opaquing techniques, and a combination of appropriate Nanofilled and Microfilled composites, the participants will overcome the problem of ‘shine-thru’ commonly seen with other composite systems. A predictable, uncomplicated technique to restore the fractured anterior tooth will be taught in this hands-on program.
