Discover the secret science in creating imperceptible anterior restorations. For many years “Esthetics” in operative dentistry has been taught as something more artistic than scientific. This lack of clear direction to help planning and executing cases with reliablilty and predictability, creates a lack of confidence.

Nowadays it is possible to work with emphasis in esthetic procedures for direct restorations in an ethical way, having in mind the patient’s whole oral health, and having by our side predictability of results sustained by scientific evidence, always under the precepts of minimally invasive dentistry.

This hands-on course will change the concept that esthetics is purely artistic and empiric, and explore practical strategic methods for natural looking direct anterior restorations. From introducing latest materials and techniques, and deepen your understanding of composite materials, this course will to create indistinguishable anterior restorations.

Topics include

• Composites: which parameters are key for making imperceptible restorations - Understanding optical properties of both teeth and composites
• Translucence and Opacity - taking your esthetic restorations to the next level. - A better approach for color selection
• Perspectives on contemporary composites.
• Finishing and polishing: step-by-step for excellence.
• LEDs in denstistry: how to be sure that your composite is properly cured
• New aesthetic possibilities with dental LASERs
• New technique for the placement of fast and predictable Direct Veneers: introducing the UVeneer

Learning Objectives
