Topic: COMPOSITE ARTISTRY. Mastering Posterior Techniques for Direct Composite and Real World Cosmetic Dentist
Venue: Edina Country Club, 5100 Wooddale Ave, Edina
Course Description:
Direct posterior composite are the most requested performed procedures. Dr. Bassett will clear up the confusion of techniques ranging from incremental filling to bulk fill technology These procedures are based on proven adhesives, advanced composite materials and new technology. The contacts are morphological precise and the restorations are undetectable. Systematic and practical techniques will be presented to treat every aspect involving veneers, crowns, and implant restorations. State-of-the-art, real-time digital design with composite prototypes and porcelain will be linked to 3D prosthetic planning with fundamental smile design principles.
Dr. Bassett will cover case presentation strategies that offer realistic patient expectations as well as a checklist for careful patient and laboratory communication. These techniques will increase treatment acceptance, and can be used to both prevent and remedy failures.
The cases presented have been published in national peer-reviewed journals. There is something for everyone to learn in this presentation.
