Ultimate Esthetics with Composite: The Basics of Layering to Advanced Techniques  

Every patient can't afford porcelain, and most people don't want their teeth "drilled down." Composite provides fully functional restorations whether it's a Class IV, diastema closure, shade change, adding length, or many other changes. This course focuses on a practical and predictable layering technique that can make all of these look beautifully natural. Included will be exactly how to create advanced surface effects like craze lines and hypocalcified spots. 

This hands-on course will prepare you to immediately be able to create better composite restorations of all types, so they look more real and last for years. 
 

• How to build restorations to preserve healthy tooth structure
• Learn and practice a simple layering technique to create natural incisal translucency and color blending. 
• Use a simple hands-on technique to create smooth margins, ideal interproximal contacts, and a surface that resists staining.

• 3 restorations on a single tooth to understand the different handling properties of the 3 types of composite, utilizing a template, creating an ideal proximal surface and contact with the Mylar pull technique, and learning the differences of each composite's surface luster after contouring and polishing
• Making and trimming a template (putty index or matrix)
• How to prep to remove the minimal amount of tooth structure for a large Class IV, use the template to facilitate layering and create a natural incisal translucency and color blending for an invisible margin even in the middle of the facial surface, as well as efficient contouring and polishing for a long-lasting and stain-resistant finish.
