The Direct Course Premise:

We have previously run successful single day courses on: isolation, posterior composites and anterior composites.

Single day courses work well but we wanted to try something a little different with this course….
We wanted to run the days together because it will allow us the time to take our delegates on a more in depth discourse on the key topics in this exacting area of dentistry:

  • How do we best prepare the hard and soft tissues to allow us to produce long lasting adhesive restorations?

  • How can we use current matrixing techniques to produce properly contoured restorations with proximal forms that will facilitate maintenance?

  • How can we finish our restorations so they recreate nature and are comfortable, functional and long lasting for our patients?

Practical Exercises Covered

  • Winged quadrant isolation

  • Class 1 molar composite

  • Claustrophobic class 2 composite

  • Parachute wingless clamp isolation

  • Claustrophobic class 2 composite next to dam clamp

  • Cavity preparation on caries simulated tooth

  • Classic wingless isolation, floss ties and the use of accessory clamps

  • Premolar class 2

  • Back to back class 2 cavities

  • Wide box cavities (missing buccal or lingual wall)

  • Last tooth in the arch isolation techniques

  • Saddle matrix/ Toffelmire for last tooth in the arch

  • Matrix in matrix technique

  • Split dam techniques

  • Partial papillectomy

  • 2 stage matrixing for deep margins using DME/ more curved bands

  • Class 2 cavity with concave margin

  • Anterior sextant isolation

  • Composite veneer including polishing protocol

  • Class 4 layered composite

This 3 day course is suitable for all Dentists and Dental Therapists and completion is associated with 21 hours Verifiable CPD.

Each day of the course will be supported by 3 experienced speakers and will incorporate innovative scenario based hands-on practicals to consolidate learning.

Group sizes are limited and we have built in time to experiment with the plethora of Incidental Ltd products but we will also have a wide range of brands available to test.

This is the course we have always wanted to run after over a decade in postgraduate education!
