LECTURE COMPONENT (30 min):

 

The secrets of Isolation and simplified time-saving composite veneering approach

• Rubberdamology

• Basic and advanced equipment for isolation

• Classic protocols of isolation in operative dentistry (endo | resto | prostho)

• Knots, teflon, retraction cord for 100% result

• Clamp modification

• Difficult cases and solutions

• Split-dam overview for different tasks

• “Copy-paste” technique: when and how

• Transparent silicone and how to transfer wax-up into final composite restoration

 

 

HANDS-ON COMPONENT (REST TIME)

The workshop is about how  to provide extreme comfortable isolation during restorative procedures and fabricate composite veneer in fast and easy way.

Powerful guide to step-by-step techniques consist of:

1. ISOLATION EXERSISE 

• Classic isolation

• Clamp choice

• Split dam

• Additional isolation: flosses, Teflon, retraction cords, silicon

2. COMPOSITE VENEER EXERSISE

• Transparent silicone impression

• Preparation for composite veneer

• “Copy-paste” technique

• Cut-back technique

• Bonding of semi-direct composite veneer

 

The participants will progress through exercises including isolation of anterior and posterior dentitions with semi-direct composite veneer approach

• Minimal invasion – maximum result

• Direct resin restoration. Simplified and advanced techniques

• Simple and predictable protocol of color determination

• Photo protocol: tricks with flashes, filters and settings

• Layering: from advanced to simplified

• Finishing and polishing: life-like macro and micro texture

• Mistakes correction

 

HANDS-ON COMPONENT (REST TIME)

 

The main aim of this workshop is to learn how to create extremely esthetically direct restoration of frontal teeth.

Powerful guide of step-by-step techniques consist of:

• microscope usage during prep proceeding
