Restorative care demands continuous learning in the areas of material science and restorative technique. The continuous evolution in adhesive
materials and techniques combined with the ever-increasing demands for aesthetic restorations has made tooth colored dentistry a quality option for
every treatment plan. The numerous choices in restorative materials has confused the clinician as to what is best indicated in a given situation. This
lecture course provides an overview of the restorative options you should be considering today as well as a comprehensive discussion of the everchanging world of dentinal adhesives. Dr. Brucia has lectured internationally on this subject and will guide you through the collection of materials
and techniques available today for providing both direct and indirect restorations that will meet your patients expectations for quality dental care.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review the options available in adhesive systems including the new advancements in Glass Ionomers and light curing units.
2. Eliminate the frustration of post-operative sensitivity and restorative failure.
3. Discuss the materials and techniques for direct composite restorations.
4. Techniques and material selection for near or direct pulp exposures.
5. Techniques for the preparation, impressions, temporization, lab communication, material selection and cementation of indirect restorations.
