Date & Time: Starts September 11th at 8:00 AM, Ends September 12th at 2:30 PM

Descriptive Summary: The evolution of composite materials together with adhesive techniques are meeting the requests of patients, who ask less invasive therapies combined with highly esthetic results in posterior and anterior regions. The range of restorative options, is getting wider, thanks to composite that can adequately respond to mechanical stress, offering natural aesthetics and an effective adhesion when treated with specific protocols. At the same time there are situation where ceramic is more indicated. The main goal of this course is to provide indications and protocol for direct and indirect (composite; ceramic; zirconia restorations) through analog plus digital CAD-CAM and 3D printed restorations. All the steps will be addressed with step-by-step photos and videos on patients.

Learning Objectives: 

• Direct & Indirect Adhesive Restorations: Different Cavity Preparations for Direct, Partial Indirect & Full Indirect Restorations
• Different Adhesive Options/Protocols for Direct Restorations
• Different Adhesive & Cementation Options/Protocols for Indirect Composite, Ceramic & Zirconia Restorations
• Analog & Digital Workflows for Adhesive Indirect Restorations

Date & Time: Starts August 14th, 2026 at 8:00 AM, Ends August 15th, 2026 at 4:00 PM

Descriptive Summary: Direct composite is something we do every day in our practices. Yet, they can sometimes be frustrating when we don’t get a tight contact or a beautiful anterior result. The choice of materials and techniques today is complex and challenging to differentiate between. We will look at the science of the materials and step by step techniques to get predictable and beautiful results every day. The hands-on component will allow you to utilize the different techniques and materials. 

Learning Objectives: 

• The differences between the current generations of adhesives
• The current materials available
• When and Why to Use Bulk Fill
• How to get predictably tight posterior contacts
• Anterior layering for maximum Aesthetics
