Posterior Teeth: 21st Century Advanced Restorations
Description
With advancements in materials and technology, posterior teeth can be restored to natural beauty without sacrificing strength or stability. Even the best materials, however, will not hold up if the occlusion is not correct. This course will help eliminate frustrations and costly remakes by focusing on the key determinants of occlusal stability as well as how to handle occlusal plane problems, prep design, lab communication, and material selection for indirect restorations. Practice placement of a class II composite on a model using a sectional matrix to develop excellent interproximal form and contacts. In addition, a hands-on CAD/CAM design and milling exercises will demonstrate how the latest technology integrates with time tested occlusal principles.
