The Best of the Best... A 2022 Update on Restorative Materials & Techniques

This course is designed to help improve your selection and use of restorative materials. Core materials and final restorations will be discussed and compared. See which dental materials work rather than hear "it works for me". This update contains five practical, evidence-based, mini-CE-courses. One for each restorative material & technique topic presented. It's like taking five short CE courses in one day!
NOTE: The Live-Stream Video Conference option for this course is only available to those that live 120 miles or more from the course location. Video conference registrations for this course MUST BE PROCESSED BY PHONE.

Overview & Learning Objectives

The focus of this course is dental advances and reality dentistry. This clinically oriented rapid paced discussion compares traditional techniques with the success of newly developed dental restorative materials and techniques. Learn about which adhesives, composites, and bioactive and ceramic materials work successfully and demonstrate techniques to handle many everyday clinical problems. In a step-by-step sequence, attendees will learn how to apply universal adhesives that will help improve clinical success and eliminate post-operative sensitivity. Learn how to place bioactive materials and bulk fillings, utilizing curing techniques in class situations. Determine if bioactive materials are effective and if they should be used. The presentation provides a review of new ceramic materials and gives steps for bonding or cementing esthetic restorations. The course will end with restoring endodontically treated teeth. Learn how to overcome endodontic post failures with a successful bonding system. This fast-paced course will improve dental practices and provide information you can use the following clinic day.

After attending this lecture, participants should be able to better understand five objectives:

1. Treating the High Caries Risk Patients

  • know how to use selective caries removal and its effectiveness
  • learn three aggressive and effective treatments for three types of high caries risk adult patients
  • use caries risk assessment to classify patients into three types of high caries adults
  • learn four treatments (fluoride, ACP, pH elevators, and xylitol) to treat caries prone patients effectively
  • use silver diamine fluoride and see its effectiveness and limitations in high caries situations

2. Adhesives

  • determine which adhesives are most effective with ceramic and resin restorations and how to apply them in a step-by-step sequence to improve clinical success
  • know whether universal adhesives are effective and how to learn which ones are effective
  • discover the limits of total and self-etching materials, what happens when they are contaminated, and how to correct these problems
  • identify cold sensitive teeth after restorative procedures and how to eliminate this problem

3. Using Posterior Composite Resins Effectively

  • select the proper composite resin for posterior bulk fill and cure applications
  • utilize practical solutions for selecting and maintaining your curing light
  • determine where flowable resins can be used effectively and what you learn may surprise you!

4. Ceramic and Cement Solutions

  • select the proper adhesive material and technique to avoid sensitivity
  • visualize and apply step-by-step bonding procedures for ceramic cementation
  • choose the proper cementation technique and materials to avoid sensitivity
  • know and utilize the cement that is best in every application
  • differentiate between self-etching, self-adhesive, and total etch resin cements and which materials can be used most successfully in each clinical situation

5. Restoring Endodontically Treated Teeth

  • describe the most frequent failures of endodontically treated teeth
  • illustrate how to effectively bond a fiber post
  • designate posts that can be used with any resin cement - yes, even those light-cured
  • determine those restorations that should be utilized for posterior cuspal coverage
