Creating Natural Harmony with Modern Super-Composites
The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites. During this CE webinar, the attendee will learn - What materials are best to replace enamel and dentin substrates - What materials are best used to replace large volumes of missing tooth structure - Posterior composite layering techniques and the placement of tints to accentuate anatomy to create greater realism - The limits of various techniques in treating hypo-mineralization and will review a staged protocol for clinical success - How modern cloud-shaded super-composite materials can help to minimize armamentaria while facilitating ease of efficiency in anterior restorations
