Pushing the Envelope: Direct and Indirect Posterior Solutions with Composite Presenter: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

The science and technology built into dental composite resins is impressive, but rarely do practitioners (or patients) realize how versatile our materials really can be. Direct placement is the most common approach for composite, but by relying on the material science within, predictable indirect composite restorations can also be life-like, strong and long lasting. Join the co-presenters in this CE webinar as they review cases from North and South America as they compare and contrast uses of composite resin in their daily practice.

Improving Esthetics of Direct Resin Posterior Restorations with a Single Shade Composite that Blends Naturally Presenter: Dr. Gregori Kurtzman Sponsor: DMG America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Direct resin posterior restorations can be challenging to blend with the surrounding tooth structure for several reasons ranging from discoloration of underlying tooth structure that can result when replacing an old amalgam that stained the dentin, teeth discolored due to tetracycline or other things related to when the tooth developed, tooth shades that do not fit standard Vita shades, to enamel and dentin that varies in shade on the tooth. Luckily, advances in restorative composite materials have allowed development of single shade resin materials for direct restorations, offering a simpler process using fewer materials to achieve excellent aesthetics that blends with the surrounding tooth. In this CE webinar, the benefits of using a universal shade composite to simplify direct resin restorations for use for Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations and core buildups will be discussed.

Fibre-Reinforced Direct Bridges: New Techniques for Success Presenter: Dr. Marvin Chacon Sponsor: VOCO America CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Fibre-reinforced direct bridges (FRDB’s) have shown good performance in clinical applications, capable of overcoming functional masticatory loading with a more biomimetic behavior than rigid metallic or full ceramic prostheses. Its retention relies on adhesive capacity which allows a lower tooth structure removal than conventional alternatives, as minimal or no sound tooth structure preparation is needed on the abutment.
