"Mastering Posterior Composite Restorations: Direct Approach to Dental Artistry"
Dr. Newton Fahl
Tuesday 23th October, 7:00pm AUS EST
Dr. Fahl will provide new insight in direct composite resin restorations. Gain better understanding of the simple to more elaborate techniques and improved materials that provide long-lasting, life-like results. Learn how to bring composite restorations to an art form by emulating proper form, color and function.
 
Tuesday 23rd October
7:00pm AUS EST 

This lecture will focus on introducing a philosophy of how to conservatively, effectively and artistically perform aesthetic direct posterior composite restorations. Aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of such restorations will be addressed. A step-by-step procedural approach to solving day-to-day posterior direct restorative challenges will be presented. Mono, bi and polychromatic layering approaches for suiting the best case scenarios will be didactically presented. The necessary armamentarium, from instruments to restorative materials, for the predictable and stress-free realization of such restorations will be introduced.
 
   

OBJECTIVES
1.    Identify the use of direct versus indirect (inlay/onlay/overlay) restorations.
2.    Teach the polychromatic layering technique to mimic the natural posterior dentition
3.    Introduce and discuss the mono, bi and polychromatic layering approaches for suiting the best case scenarios.
4.    Discuss a simple yet effective technique for eliminating post-operative sensitivity through proper adhesive procedures.
5.    Utilize esthetic principles of composite resin shade matching and placement techniques to improve esthetics and placement time with posterior composite resin restorations.
6.    Understand the important factors involved in polymerization shrinkage of composite resin materials and identify methods to minimize these factors.
7.    Achieve predictable interproximal contacts in class II restorations.
 
Biography
 
Considered the master in composite restorations! 

Dr. Newton Fahl Jr. received his DDS degree from Londrina State University, Brazil, in 1987. In 1989 he received the Certificate in Operative Dentistry and Master of Science degree from the University of Iowa, USA. After returning to Brazil, he settled in Curitiba, where he maintains a private practice emphasizing esthetic and cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Newton Fahl, Jr. is a member of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (EAED), the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), and founding member and past- president of the Brazilian Society of Aesthetic Dentistry (BSAD). He is a MCG-Hinman Foundation fellow.
Dr. Fahl has published several enlightening articles on direct and indirect bonding techniques. He is on editorial board of REALITY, Contemporary Esthetics, and of Practical Procedures & Aesthetic Dentistry - PPA&D, and has been editor of the New Product Review section of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) Journal. He is an active consultant for several manufacturers in the development and refinement of new materials and techniques.
Since 1990, Dr. Fahl has dedicated himself to teaching esthetic restorative dentistry at a post-graduate level and has accumulated much experience in the art and science of teaching from extensively lecturing internationally. His presentations encompass 1-2 day lectures, hands-on sessions, and live patient clinics. Dr. Fahl has helped numerous colleagues from all over the globe envision a broader clinical perspective through teaching practical, attainable techniques in adhesive and cosmetic dentistry. He is director of the Fahl Art & Science in Aesthetic Dentistry Institute in Curitiba, Brazil where he conducts hands-on and courses on direct and indirect adhesive restorations.

Among his many areas of interest, Dr. Fahl takes the greatest pleasure in direct adhesive aesthetic Dentistry. He feels this is an area frequently underestimated in its applications due to lack of familiarity with more elaborate techniques and improved materials, whose proper implementation should elicit long-lasting and life-like aesthetic results. Composite Artistry accounts for a significant percentage of Dr. Fahl's practice income, and he is eager to share his passion and knowledge about this subject with those who attend his courses.
