Featured Courses:

=============================================
Composites Done Correctly : Balancing: Art, Science & Business of Dentistry
Speaker: Dr. Jeffrey Hoos
ODQ = 2.5 CEU
RCDSO = Category 2 = 3 CE points
=============================================

Every dentist knows that the backbone of a general dental practice is restorative dentistry. The days of amalgam are over, and the restorative material is composite.
CONSERVATIVE dentistry requires the knowledge of how to correctly handle composite restorative materials. Which materials should be used and for what application and HOW FAR CAN WE PUSH COMPOSITES for creating long-lasting restorations?
Beautiful restorative dentistry, based on great science, with a business model in mind.
The simple objective of this course is to demonstrate how to find the BALANCE: ART, SCIENCE, & BUSINESS OF DENTISTRY.

=============================================
Adhesive posterior indirect restorations
Speaker: Dr. Laurie St-Pierre
ODQ = 9 CEU
RCDSO = Category 2 = 6 CE points
=============================================
Advanced adhesion techniques and ceramics, including lithium disilicate, now allow the restoration of posterior teeth while retaining more tooth structure while promoting longevity. This course, based on scientific evidence and supported by several clinical cases, will present the different steps for the realization of conservative posterior indirect restorations in lithium disilicate, from case selection to the latest technical advances for adhesive cementing.

Educational objectives:
• Select cases for conservative indirect restorations;
• Optimally prepare the tooth structure;
• Perform the immediate sealing of the dentin and the elevation of the deep margin;
• Use an optimal protocol for adhesive cementing.
