Direct Composite Veneers Using Matrix

Synopsis

Direct composite restorations are today’s bread and butter dentistry, and being efficient and predictable is a must for any practicing clinician. Additionally, direct composites provide functional, long-lasting, and esthetically pleasing results in the most conservative fashion. Many complain that direct anterior and posterior composites can be technique sensitive, difficult, time-consuming, and often financially unrewarding procedures. This may be due in large part due to the incorrect use of new materials. These materials require a completely new approach if we are going to be successful with them. Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz will show how using the scientific based supra-gingival approach to preparation and placement, allows for highly esthetic, faster, predictable and healthier anterior and posterior direct composites, including full mouth composite rehabilitation.

In this practical workshop you will use the newly learned techniques and perform many restorations on a realistic typodont.
