Description:Posterior Composites are the mainstay for many practices. Being able to
perform them predictably with efficiency is the goal. This lecture will look at
current materials, techniques and instrumentation to accomplish those goals.
These will include matrix systems for tight contacts, bulk fill and regular
materials, placement and finishing techniques. The lecture will compare
total etch to self-etch techniques and distinguish the risks and benefits of
each. The presentation will detail a systematic approach to evaluating the
different generations of dentin adhesives, and compare the clinical and
research data of each. This lecture will
clarify how to decrease post-operative sensitivity and increase the success of
your adhesive dentistry.
