Class II Success: Practical Chairside Strategies for Dental Assistants (Session 1)

Class II composite restorations are among the most common procedures in dentistry, yet small improvements in preparation, isolation, matrix selection, and workflow can have a significant impact on efficiency and clinical outcomes. In this practical one-hour webinar, Dr. Matt Burton shares simple chairside strategies dental assistants can use to support predictable Class II restorations, improve procedural flow, and enhance the patient experience.
Participants will learn how preparation, matrix systems, wedges, and teamwork contribute to consistent restorative results while helping reduce treatment delays and post-operative adjustments. Attendees will leave with practical techniques they can apply immediately in everyday practice.
