Customize Your Composites For Your Patients
Description:
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.

Thanks Dr Radz I enjoy your lecture and I learned from it.

I would like to know when we should bevel? Is it only for class III and IV?
Great presentation, thanks!

Gary,
When I first did class II restorations in the early 60's I beveled the gingival margin and not sure when I stopped...I must have read a research paper that advised against it but cannot find it. Any thoughts on why we all stopped?
Great program! Ron

Nathan,
Dr. Goldstien provided a nice solution for the first part of your question.
As far as slipping off of ring........Garrison recently introduced an XTR ring in their system that is supposed to help with the problem of rings popping off. May want to go to their website and to learn more.

Kevin.
No I do not bevel the margins on my class I and II restorations.

bassam, not you don't need to see the chalky appearance of the enamel. If you've done a total etch for 15 seconds the enamel will be etched.
If you dry the enamel enough to see the chalky appearance on the enamel......you have probably over dried the dentin.

Sam,
Not a CEREC or E4D user.......so not in a good position to comment. Sorry.

Nathan, I also had the same type problems as you have had and so I stick to the Tofflemire annealed bands with tight wedging and seal the gingival part of the class II and then relax the band, increse pressure on the wedge and I do get tight contacts and nicely built marginal ridges.
|
Nathan Saydyk - (11/16/2012 8:51 AM)
One of the areas I struggle with is developing the marginal ridge and the occlusal portion of the contact. Any suggestions on getting a life like and healthy inter proximal marginal ridge? Also, I struggle with the v-ring system slipping off....kills me every time. Do you have the same issue with the Garrison product? Great presentation, thank you.

The Cycle of Tooth Preservation Via Stress-Reduced Direct Composite Restorations
This lecture will provide clinicians with an overview of differing biomimetic protocols and techniques to predictably restore the anterior and posterior dentition using a minimally invasive approach.
Increasing interest has been developed on “Life-like” restorations also known as biomimetic restorations. These are either porcelain or resin based restoration that can be performed on the anterior and posterior areas of the mouth. They may adopt both an indirect and a direct technique. The common characteristic is that they are low stressed and highly bonded restorations able to reproduce the functional and optical characteristic of the natural dentition.

Successful Composite Resin Restorations - Part 1 of 2
Amalgam has been a durable successful dental restorative material; however this material has recently come under question due to its mercury content and disposal. Composite resin materials range from flowable to highly filled condensable type viscosities. There are many factors that influence the success of posterior composite resin restorations. This presentation will identify the factors that limit success (size, patient type, caries risk, shrinkage, curing light) and the materials that can be successfully used to restore posterior teeth. Beginning with flowable materials and their clinical application the presentation will discuss the open sandwich technique, use of flowable posterior restorations, sectional matrices and fluoride, calcium and phosphate releasing materials.

Clinical Tips for Posterior Composites
Despite the popularity of posterior composites, it is a topic that still creates questions and frustrations for many clinicians. Our goal is to place these restorations with ease and success to create long lasting results. We will discuss preparation design, material selection, matrices, and placement techniques. One of the most common questions I get is about predictably creating tight contacts, and we will look at several techniques to ensure this happens.

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.

Updating Classifications of Ceramic Dental Materials
The indications for and composition of today’s dental ceramic materials serve as the basis
for determining the appropriate class of ceramics to use for a given case. By understanding
the classifications, composition, and characteristics of the latest all-ceramic materials,
which are presented in this article in order of most to least conservative, dentists and
laboratory technicians can best determine the ideal material for a given treatment.
