Dr. Michael MandikosThursday 2nd August, 6:45pm AUS EST
This
lecture is going to be relevant to most dentists -
When it comes to
direct composite resin dentistry, we are fortunate to practice in an era where we are literally spoiled for choice with the
different types of composites available on the market today. We have monoshade and highly aesthetic composites, packable and
flowable composites, microfill, microhybrid and nanofill composites, and even universal composites. However, whilst each of these
materials brings with it some unique features, each composite also has different handling properties that require different
placement, finishing and polishing techniques.
Thursday 2nd
August
6:45pm AUS EST
This program
will feature clinical cases and videos to address the variations in handling properties that clinicians experience with the
different types of composite resins, and techniques to better manage each of these categories of composite will be demonstrated.
Procedures for the finishing and polishing of composites are also demonstrated to show how to achieve the best results and eliminate
the dreaded white line around the restoration margins.
