Implant Therapy and Esthetic Considerations - A Conservative Direct Composite Alternative - Part 4 of 6
Drs. David Garber and Claudio Pinho demonstrate an alternative approach with Direct Composite Bonding utilizing a guided silicone matrix to compensate for malpositioned anterior teeth, caries, and limited spacing.

Tooth Preparation and Dentin Protection in Fixed Prosthodontics
Dr. Jose Padros outlines an excellent review of the keys to a systematic approach to tooth preparation in fixed prosthodontics.

Conservative Form and Space Management in Anterior Implants, Veneers and Esthetic Therapy - Part 1 of 2
Dr. Christian Coachman shares conservative methods of overcoming esthetic challenges in anterior restorations involving implant therapy.

Improving Smiles Through Conservative Techniques
This course is worth 1 CEU.

Customize Your Composites For Your Patients
Today's composite resins have truly evolved to the point where you can several 'best' choice for any restorative situation. Using various case studies, this course will demonstrate the use of a family of low-shrinkage composites and proven techniques to provide many examples of the applications of different types of composites to provide excellent results. Additionally, we will discuss how to use the photography of these cases to create awareness to current, new, and potential patients through various marketing techniques.

Smile Design and The Bonded Functional Esthetic Prototype (BFEP)
The lecture will cover some simple Photoshop techniques to enhance a smile digitally to present to the patient and motivate them to accept treatment. This lecture will mainly focus on the the step-by-step process of how to turn the 2-dimensional Photoshop smile design into a 3D Bonded Functional Esthetic Prototypes (BFEP’s) the patient wears to verify esthetic and functional acceptance. A very efficient technique using a new highly flowable but highly filled micro-hybrid that uses an injection molding tray technique will be demonstrated. A full arch composite bonding can be done in one hour with this technique. This BFEP technique can be used for “trial smiles” for pre-treatment esthetic and functional evaluation by the patient and the treatment team. It can also be used for long-term functional temporization for years if necessary. The BFEP will then be used as the final guide for preparations for Anterior Etched Ceramic restorations (porcelain veneers and glass ceramics.

Trouble-Free Highly Esthetic Composite Restorations
During this webinar we will discuss through pictures and HD videos, a methodological approach on how to consistently succeed highly esthetic trouble-free and durable composite restorations.

Bringing Composite Resins to an Art Form in the Anterior Segment
Esthetic dentistry has evolved tremendously over the past twenty years and has gained unprecedented acceptance by both dentists and patients alike. Currently, the use of high-end technology and state-of-the-art materials enables specialists and general practitioners to perform esthetic procedures at the utmost level of scientific soundness while effecting like-life results.

The Centripetal Build-Up for Composite Resin Posterior Restorations
This paper introduces a new technique for creating Class II posterior composite restorations - the centripetal build-up. This technique replaces the lost tooth structure from the periphery towards the center of the cavity, thereby achieving better marginal adaptation to the gingival floor. Since overfilling is rare, rotary finishing is minimized. This method allows the creation of long-term aesthetic posterior composite restorations, while utilizing conventional auxiliary (ie, metal matrix bands…
