A Three day course on the principles of Biomimetics, will equip the dental professionalsto choose and place effective, long lasting posterior restorations for replacing lost tooth structure via directSemi Direct Composites, Indirect Ceramic Restorations (inlays, onlays, overlays, veneerlays and crowns), combining interactive Lectures, demonstrations and hands-on sessions in clinical skills

Day 1: "Predictable Posterior Composites: A Simplified Concept"

Lecture:

• Simple and predictable technique ("The Simplified Concept") that will allow the dentist to produce lifelike Class I and II restorations.
• Modern cavity designs : Which cusp to save!
• How to reduce C factor and stress in restorations
• Various bonding systems : what, when and where to use for successful results
• How to ensure “Zero Sensitivity” in deep vital restorations
• Ways to create ideal interproximal contacts: Snow Plow technique
• Different Matrices, Rings, Systems and Wedges
• The role of Pre wedging
• Different Matrices, Rings, Systems and Wedges
• Teflon wedges
• Opaquers and tints
• Finishing and polishing protocol.

Demo and Hands On:

• Fabricating lifelike Class II posterior restoration using a simplified “Simultaneous modeling technique and the snow plow technique”
• Changing a Deep Class II cavity to easily manageable Class I cavity design
